Solution

The correct option is C 50 kmh1
Given:
Speed of first object =40kmh1
Time travelled by the first object = 5 h.

Distance between A and B = 40×5=200 km

Now, the second object starts after an hour.
To reach the point B at the same time as the first object, the first object should cover the distance between A and B in the remaining time.

Distance to be covered = 200 km
Remaining time = 4 h

Required speed = DistanceTime taken=2004=50kmh1
