Correct Answer: 27 km


Solution : Given:
Speed of A = 5 kmph; Speed of B = 4 kmph
Time = 3 hours

According to the instructions given, both A and B are standing at the same point, and from there they start moving in opposite directions at different speeds.
Distance = Speed × Time
So, the distance travelled by A in 3 hours = 5 × 3 = 15 km
Distance travelled by B in 3 hours = 4 × 3 = 12 km
Therefore, the distance between A and B after 3 hours = 15 + 12 = 27 km

So, 27 km will be the distance between A and B after three hours. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
