A green lizard can travel from the green cave to the blue cave in 72 minutes; the blue lizard can travel from the blue cave to the green cave in 25% less time. If the green lizard started to travel 5.5 minutes before the blue lizard, how many minutes after the blue lizard, will the green lizard pass the middle line?
Correct answer: E
Explanation
Time taken by green lizard to cover half dist=36 min
Time taken by blue lizard to cover full distance =0.75*72=54
Time taken by blue lizard to cover half dist=27
As green lizard started early it will reach 36-5.5=30.5
So, extra time taken by green lizard is 36.5-30.5=6mins
