Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Speed }} \cr & {\text{ = }}\left( {60 \times \frac{5}{{18}}} \right){\text{m/sec}} \cr & {\text{ = }}\frac{{50}}{3}{\text{ m/sec}} \cr & {\text{Total distance covered}} \cr & {\text{ = (100 + 140) m = 240 m}} \cr & \therefore {\text{Required time}} \cr & {\text{ = }}\left( {240 \times \frac{3}{{50}}} \right){\text{sec}} \cr & {\text{ = }}\frac{{72}}{5}{\text{sec}} \cr & {\text{ = 14}}{\text{.4 sec}} \cr} $$
