Two cities $X$ and $Y$ are connected by a regular bus service with a bus leaving in either direction every $T$ min. $A$ girl is driving a scooty with a speed of $60 \ km/h$ in the direction $X$ to $Y$ and notices that a bus goes past her every $30$ minutes in the direction of her motion,and every $10$ minutes in the opposite direction. Choose the correct option for the period $T$ of the bus service and the speed (assumed constant) of the buses.

  • A
    $9 \ min, 40 \ km/h$
  • B
    $25 \ min, 100 \ km/h$
  • C
    $10 \ min, 90 \ km/h$
  • D
    $15 \ min, 120 \ km/h$
