Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
By 4:30 PM, the fugitive has traveled for 1.5 hours, covering 48 * 1.5 = 72 km. Relative speed = 64 - 48 = 16 km/h. Time to catch = 72 / 16 = 4.5 hours. Catching time = 4:30 PM + 4.5 hours = 9:00 PM.
A luxury car handles a tracking route sector of 180 km. It finishes the first half segment stretch at 45 km/h and the second half sector at 60 km/h. Find the mean average speed recorded across the full route.
