Answers
Given : Everyday a bus leaves Delhi for Ambala and at same instant bus leaves Ambala for Delhi. The two buses cross each other at Karnal.
To find : speed of the bus going from delhi to ambala
Solution:
speed of the bus going from delhi to ambala = X km/hr
speed of the bus going from ambla to Delhi = Y km/hr
=> Time taken by both bus to reach Karnal = T hr
Distance from Delhi to karnal = XT km
Distance from Ambala to karnal = YT km
Total Distance = XT + YT
bus leaving Delhi started late by 30 minutes
meet 12 km short of usual meeting point.
Distance covered by delhi to ambala Bus = XT - 12 km
Distance covered by Ambala to karnal = YT + 12 km
t is time taken by Bus from Ambala to meeting point , hence another bus traveled 30 mins less
XT - 12 = X(t - 30/60)
YT + 12 = Yt
=> (X + Y)T = (X + Y)t - X/2
bus leaving Ambala started late by 30 minutes,
Distance Covered by Delhi Bus = X ( T + 12/60) = X( T + 1/5)
Distance Covered by Ambala Bus = Y(T+ 12/60 - 30/60) = Y(T - 3/10)
XT + X/5 + YT - 3Y/10 = XT + YT
=> X/5 = 3Y/10
=> 2X = 3Y
=> X = 1.5Y
(X + Y)T = (X + Y)t - X/2
using X = 1.5Y
=> 2.5YT = 2.5Yt - 1.5Y/2
=> T = t - 1.5Y/5
=> t - T = 1.5/5 hr
=> t - T = 18 mins
18 mins taken extra by bus
YT + 12 = Yt
=> Y(t - T) = 12
=> Y (18/60) = 12
=> Y = 40
X = 60
speed of the bus going from delhi to ambala = 60 km/hr
