##### Method of solving this CAT Question from Speed, Time and Distance

Let us take the distance AP = x and BP = 3x
It’s also given that SpeedCar-2 = $$frac{1}{2}$ SpeedCar-1 S1 = S S2 = $\frac{S}{2}$ Car 2 takes one hour more than Car 1 T2 = t minutes T2 =$t + 60) minutes

We know that Time = $$frac{Distance}{Speed}$ So TCar-1 = $\frac{x}{S}$ TCar-2 = $\frac{3𝑥}{\frac{S}{2}}$ = $\frac{6x}{S}$ TCar-1 = t TCar-2 = 6t We know, TCar-2 takes$t + 60) minutes
6t = t + 60
5t = 60
t = 12 minutes

The question is "Point P lies between points A and B such that the length of BP is thrice that of AP. Car 1 starts from A and moves towards B. Simultaneously, car 2 starts from B and moves towards A. Car 2 reaches P one hour after car 1 reaches P. If the speed of car 2 is half that of car 1, then the time, in minutes, taken by car 1 in reaching P from A is:"

##### Hence, the answer is 12 minutes.
