At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

Hi All,
This is an example of the 'Combined Rate' question; on Test Day, they're relatively rare (you'll probably see just 1) and they're usually written in a way that requires a certain amount of real "math" work to get to the correct answer.
By using the answer choices in this question, you can actually AVOID most of the work though.
In the first sentence, we know Jack's starting time (1pm), speed (15 mph) and distance (60 miles), so we can quickly figure out how long it would take Jack to travel the entire distance (4 hours). This tells us that, at 5pm, Jack would be at the other end of the road. We know that Scott is cycling TOWARDS him though, so some time BEFORE 5PM, they'll meet. Eliminate Answers C, D and E.
With the remaining two answers, 1:30pm is much TOO early to be the meeting time. Neither Jack nor Scott is traveling fast enough to meet up that early. Eliminate A. There's only one answer left..
Final Answer:
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich
