A and B walk around a circular track. They start at 8 am from the same point in the opposite directions. A and B walk at a speed of 2 rounds per hour and 3 rounds per hour respectively. How many times shall they cross each other before 9.30 am ?

A. 5 times

B. 6 times

C. 7 times

D. 8 times

Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Relative speed = (2 + 3) = 5 rounds per hour
So, they cross each other 5 times in an hour and 2 times in half an hour.
Hence, they cross each other 7 times before 9.30 am.
