Correct Answer: 90 km
Solution : Let the speed of Vishu be = $x$ km/hr The speed of Ashu will be = $x$ + 15 km/hr Also, let the initial distance covered by Vishu be $d$ km. It is given that Vishu initially is ahead of Ashu by a certain distance. Let this distance be a km. So, the distance covered by Vishu before Ashu overtakes him in 6 hours is '$a$' km. $\because$ Distance = Speed $\times$ Time $a$ = $x$ $\times$ 6 = 6$x$ Also, Ashu will have to cover the initial distance plus the extra distance travelled by Vishu in that time. So, the distance covered by Ashu before he overtakes is '$a$ + $d$' km. ⇒ $a + d = 6(x+15)$ ⇒ 6$x$ + d = 6$x$ + 90 ⇒ $d$ = 90 km $\therefore$ The initial distance between them is 90 km. Hence, the correct answer is 90 km.
