Question

Bharani and Anand are 180 km apart. They started simultaneously towards each other at speeds of 10 kmph and 20 kmph respectively. In how many hours will they meet ? *

Answer 1

Let, the distance travelled by Bharati be x,

so distance travelled by Anand will be 180 - x.

and the time taken be t

Formula,

Distance = Speed × Time

x = 10t ... (1)

180 - x = 20t ... (2)

(1) + (2)

180 = 30t

t = 6

Therefore,

Bharati and Anand will meet after 6 hours
