Options

• 14 min 25 sec

• 7 min

• 28 min 37 sec

• 54 min 35 sec

Answer 1

7 min

Explanation:

Let C's speed = x km/h

B's speed = 3x km/h

A's speed = 6x km/h

Therefore Ratio of speed of ABC = 6x : 3x : x = 6 : 3 :1

The ratio of times taken`=1/6:1/3:1=1:2:6`

If C takes 6 min, A takes 1 min.

If C takes 42 min. A then A takes`(1/6xx42)`=7 minutes.
