Tom and Linda stand at point A. Linda begins to walk in a straight line away from Tom at a constant rate of 4 miles per hour. One hour later, Tom begins to jog in a straight line in the exact opposite direction at a constant rate of 9 miles per hour. If both Tom and Linda travel indefinitely, what is the positive difference, in minutes, between the amount of time it takes Tom to cover half of the distance that Linda has covered and the amount of time it takes Tom to cover twice the distance that Linda has covered?
Choose the correct answer
A) 60  B) 72  C) 84  D) 90  E) 216

Rationale: e is the answer . . . . d = ts where d = distance , t = time and s = speed to travel half distance , ( 2 + 4 t ) = 9 t = = > t = 2 / 5 = = > 24 minutes to travel double distance , 2 ( 2 + 4 t ) = 9 t = = > 4 = = > 240 minutes difference , 216 minutes e
Answer: E
