A.	6 hours 52 minutes	B.	5 hours 52 minutes
C.	6 hours 12 minutes	D.	5 hours 58 minutes

Answer and Explanation

Answer:5 hours 52 minutes

Explanation:
A and B move at a relative speed of (160 – 120) = 40 m/minute
=> A and B come together in 1760/40 = 44 minutes
=> A and C move together at a relative speed of (160 – 105)
=> = 55 m/minutes
=> A and C come together in (1760/55) = 32 minutes

A, B and C come together in 5 hours 52 minutes.
