Answer 2

Given:

Jai starts running from the train station at 2pm and heads towards the bus station at a uniform speed. At 3pm, Veeru starts from the bus station and heads towards the train station at a uniform speed. Somewhere along the way, they cross each other. Then, Jai reaches the bus station, and Veeru reaches the train station, both at 4pm

To Find:

for how long Veeru travelled before crossing Jai.

Solution:

Let the speed of Jai be x and of Veeru be y.

Let the distance be d,

d= 2x = y

both complete the distance at 4 pm,

Jai starts at 2 pm means time taken by Jai = 2hrs

veeru starts at 3 pm means time taken by Veeru = 1 hr

according to question , distance is equal

x.2 = y. 1

2x =y .............................(1)

Jai will move d/2 in 1 hr , so in the next t hr Jai and Veeru both will complete the next d/2 distance,

d/2 = x.t +y.t

2x/2 = tx +2tx

3t = 1

t=1/3 hrs= 20 minutes

So veeru will travel for 20 minutes to cross Jai.
