Given:
Time(t)= 100 s , distance (s)=1km= 1000m
Vb=10m/s (relative speed with respect to the bus)
Velocity (V)=distance /time = 1000/100= 10m/s
Vs= velocity of scooter, Vb=velocity of bus
V = Vs-Vb (both bus & scooter are moving in the same direction)
10= Vs-10
10+10 = Vs
20=Vs
Vs=20m/s
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The velocity with which scooterist should chase the bus is20m/s
Time(t)= 100 s , distance (s)=1km= 1000m
Vb=10m/s (relative speed with respect to the bus)
Velocity (V)=distance /time = 1000/100= 10m/s
Vs= velocity of scooter, Vb=velocity of bus
V = Vs-Vb (both bus & scooter are moving in the same direction)
10= Vs-10
10+10 = Vs
20=Vs
Vs=20m/s

With relative velocity concept this question is easy to solve.
Relative velocity = Relative distance / Time
(v - 10m/s) = 1000 m / 100 s
v - 10 m/s = 10 m/s
v = 20 m/s
Velocity of scooter should be 20 m/s
Relative velocity = Relative distance / Time
(v - 10m/s) = 1000 m / 100 s
v - 10 m/s = 10 m/s
v = 20 m/s
Velocity of scooter should be 20 m/s
