For question 1)
During the 8-9 , Mr hare travel 40miles
For the time 9 onwards they travel concurrently,
Let x be the distance covered by both since they can only meet if they covered the sams distance,
x/50 = x/40 -1 ,where the 1 is the (8-9) 1 hr
x/40 - x/50 = 1
x = 200
Time take by Mr Hare = 200/ 40 = 5
from 8 add 5 hours will be 1
ans is b
2)
during 8- 9 hare travelled 50miles
let x be the distance
x/55= x/50-1
x/50-x/55=1
x=550miles
time taken by hare = 550/50=11 hr
ie when they first meet it will be 7pm
so ans is b 8
