A cargo ship circles a lighthouse at a distance 20 km with speed 1500 km/h. A torpedo launcher fires a missile towards the ship from the lighthouse at the same speed and which moves so that it is always on the line between the lighthouse and the ship. How long does it take to hit?

(1)37.7 secs
(2)56.57 secs
(3)75.43 secs
(4)94.29 secs
(5)113.14 secs

Well, I do not think GMAT tests your advanced maths skills. Hence I do not think we will see anything like this in GMAT
