A non stop bus to Amritsar overtakes an auto also moving towards Amritsar at 10 am. The bus reaches Amritsar at 12.30 pm and starts on the return journey after 1 hr. On the way back it meets the auto at 2 pm. At what time the auto will reach Amritsar?

Totally bus takes 2.30hrs to reach the Amristar.
So 1/5 of i.e 30 mins reach the one place where it met auto.
That means 4/5 of this travel by bus is 2hrs and auto is 4hrs
so2:4::1/2:x
2/4=1/2x
4x=4
x=1
so auto will reach Amirstar at 1hr.
