Correct Answer: 11:38 am
Solution : Given: The distance between Point A and B is 192 km. Anil's speed is 64 km/hr. So, it will take $\frac{192}{64} = 3$ hours for Anil to reach point B. He started at 8:20 am. So, he will reach point B at 8:20 + 3 = 11:20 am Tirath's speed is 96 km/hr. Since Tirath starts his journey at 9:50 am, At 11:20, when Anil reaches point B, Tirath will be (96 × 1.5) = 144 km from A. Now, at 11:20, the distance between Anil and Tirath is (192 – 144) = 48 km Their relative speed is (64 + 96) = 160 km/hr So, they will meet after $\frac{60 × 48}{160} =18$ minutes Therefore, Tirath and Anil will meet each other at (11:20 + 18) = 11:38 am Hence, the correct answer is 11:38 am.
