Solution

The correct option is B 12 noon
A's speed is 50 km/h and B's speed will be 75 km/h.
Since A starts at 9 am, the distance travelled by A till 10 am = 50 km
Relative speed after 10 am = 50 + 75 = 125 km/h
Now, distance between them at 10 am = 300 - 50 = 250 km
Time =250125=2 h
Thus, they will meet at 12 noon.
