Q1.Re

Soln.
        Let first milestone has a no. xy so other milestone has yx no.
        As Pinky's speed is uniform we can say:
        10x+y=5(10y+x-10x-y)
     =>10x+y=45y-45x
     =>55x=44y
     =>5x=4y
So,(x,y)=(4,5)
So distance covered till 2nd milestone is:54miles
So option (b) is correct....

Giv ur best to d world.
Nd d best will cm back to u.....
