Question

2 buses moving towards each other from town a to town b which are 480 km apart it took 1st bus from a to b is 8hours and bus back 10 hours find when and where 2 buses will meet

Answer 1

$\textbf{\huge{ANSWER:}}$

$\sf{Given:}$

Distance between towns, A and B = 480 km

Time taken by $\tt{Bus_{1}}$ to cross the town = 8 hours

Time taken by $\tt{Bus_{2}}$ to cross the town = 10 hours

Therefore, we can say that;

$\tt{Speed\:of\:Bus_{1}}$ = $\frac{480}{8}$ km/hr

=》 60 km/hr

$\tt{Speed\:of\:Bus_{2}}$ = $\frac{480}{10}$ km/hr

=》 48 km/hr

$\tt{Relative\:Speed = 60 + 48 km/hr}$

=》 108 km/hr

Time taken = $\frac{Distance}{Speed}$

=》 $\frac{480}{108}$

=》 $\tt{Time = 4.44\:hours}$

Distance = Speed × Time

=》 108 × 4.44

=》 $\tt{Distance = 479.52\:km}$

Answer 2

Answer:

Both the busses will meet at time(t) = 4.44hrs. Distance each bus travels before meeting is 479.52 km.
