A truck leaves Nakuru heading towards Nairobi at 70km/h. One hour later, a car leaves Nairobi towards Nakuru at 90km/h. If the distance between Nakuru and Nairobi is 160km. After how many hours from when the car leaves will they meet?
Ans: 0.56 hours (≈ 34 minutes) after the car leaves Nairobi.
Distance between Nakuru and Nairobi = 160 km; Truck speed = 70 km/h; Car speed = 90 km/h; Truck leaves 1 hour earlier
In 1hr; truck covers 70km (speed 70km/h); Distance left is 90km
Relative speed= 70+90= 160km/h
Time to meet = Dist/relative speed= (90/160) * 60 = 0.56hrs; ~34 minutes

A 7-year-old boy is brought to the clinic because of progressive difficulty climbing stairs and getting up from the floor for the past 3 months. His mother has noticed that he now uses his hands to push off his thighs when rising. Examination shows proximal muscle weakness in the lower limbs, mild muscle tenderness, and a positive Gower’s sign. There is no significant family history of muscle disease. His CK level is markedly elevated, and EMG shows a myopathic pattern.
While awaiting genetic testing, the mother mentions that he recently developed a reddish rash over his eyelids and flat-topped papules on his knuckles.
What is the most likely diagnosis?
A. Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
B. Becker Muscular Dystrophy
