After their meeting, Sonia increased her speed by 3 km/h and Priyanka reduced her speed by 3 km/h. They arrived at Bellari and Amethi, respectively at the same time. What is their initial speeds?
Options:

B) 25 km/h and 18 km/h
C) 18 km/h and 21 km/h
D) 20 km/h and 23 km/h
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
- The sum of their speed $ =\frac{645}{15}=43km/h $
Since, they are actually exchanging their speed only, then they can arrive at the same time at their respective destinations. It means the difference in speed is 3 km/h.
$ \therefore $ $ x+(x+3)=43 $
So, $ x=20 $ and $ x+3=23 $
