Cars A and B are stationed in “Townville” and “Cityburg”, respectively. The two cities are connected by parallel highways and are 100 miles apart. The two cars begin their journeys simultaneously, moving in opposite directions, each heading towards the other car’s point of departure. If the two cars cross each other after 30 minutes, which car is closer to its destination city at the point of crossing?
(1) Car B averaged a speed of 40 miles per hour for the entire trip.
(2) When the two cars crossed each other, car A had averaged a speed of 80 miles per hour.
(1) Car B averaged a speed of 40 miles per hour for the entire trip.
(2) When the two cars crossed each other, car A had averaged a speed of 80 miles per hour.

Two cities are 100 miles apart. The cars A and B are moving towards each other.
They meet in 30 minutes.
Relative speed = (A+B) = 100/(30/60)= 200.
Thus, A + B = 200.
We need to find: Which car is closer to the destination?
Statement 1:
Car B averaged a speed of 40 miles per hour for the entire trip.
Car B travelled at 40 miles in 60 minutes.
so, in 30 minutes, 20 miles is crossed by Car B. While , Car A could have travelled a distance of 80 miles.
Thus, A is nearest to the destination. Hence, Sufficient.
Statement 2:
When the two cars crossed each other, car A had averaged a speed of 80 miles per hour.
Car A has crossed a distance of 40 miles in 30 minutes.
Car B has traveled a distance of 60 miles in 30 minutes.
So, Car B is closer to destination.
Hence, Sufficient

Hi,
Statement 1:
Car B averaged a speed of 40 miles per hour for the entire trip.
Car B travelled at 40 miles in 60 minutes.
so, in 30 minutes, 20 miles is crossed by Car B. While , Car A could have travelled a distance of 80 miles.
Thus, A is nearest to the destination. Hence, Sufficient. Agree.
Statement 2 :
This statement provides information of Car A speed at the time of crossing i.e 80 mph. But that doesn't conclude that the speed of Car A was constant at this rate.
Even if we assume here that Car A speed was constant at 80, then the car which is nearest to destination becomes B. In this case, the answer we come up with Statement 1 & Statement 2 are different; which is not allowed. The answer to both statements, if they are truly independent, should be one.
So, the final answer should be A.
