At 7:00 am, Emma and Noah start biking toward each other from City A and City B, respectively, along the same route. If Emma bikes at a constant speed that is twice the constant speed at which Noah bikes, at what time does Noah reach City A?

(1) The distance between City A and City B is 90 kilometers.

(2) At 7:45 am, the two cyclists pass each other.

Let the speeds of Emma and Noah be 2S and S respectively. They both start at the same time (7.00 am) from the cities A and B respectively.

Need to find : Time Noah reaches City A?

Relative speed = 2S + S = 3S

Statement 1:

(1) The distance between City A and City B is 90 kilometers.

Time taken by Noah = distance / speed of Noah = 90/S .

since, we don’t know the value of S. Insufficient

Statement 2:

(2) At 7:45 am, the two cyclists pass each other.

Time of meeting = distance / ( relative speed)

45/60 = d/3S

d = (9/4) * S

= 2.25 S

Since, both travel from opposite sides, they must have covered a total distance of d , while they meet.

Time taken by Noah = 2.25 S / S = 2.25 = 2.25*60 = 135 minutes = 2 hours 15 minutes.

Total time taken by Noah

= 7 .00 am + 2 hours 15 minutes

= 9 am 15 minutes.

Hence, Sufficient.

As Emma's speed is twice that of Noah, she covers twice the distance in the same amount of time than Noah covers.

Statement 1

Let's assumed that Noah's speed = 2x km/hr , then Emma's speed = x km/hr

Time taken by Noah to reach City A = 90/2x

As the value of x is not know, we can't find the time. The statement alone is not sufficient.

Statement 2

We can infer that in 45 mins, Noah covered two parts of the distance and Emma covered only one part of the distance.

To cover the remaining one part, Noah will take half the time she has already spent travelling, i.e. Noah will take 22.5 mins to cover the remaining distance.

Total travel time = 67.5 mins

As the total travel time is know, we can find the time when Noah reached City A.

The statement alone is sufficient to answer the question asked.

Option B
