Speeds of cars at places A and B are 60 km/h and 40 km/ h respectively
places A and B are 100 km apart on a highway. one car starts from A and another from B at the same time . if the cars travel in the same direction at different speeds , they meet in 5 hours . if they travel towards each other , they meet in 1 hour .what are the speeds of the two cars?
Let the cars from A and B start at speeds x km/h and y km/h respectively
Then,
5x - 5y = 100
==> x - y = 20 ..........( 1 )
and x + y = 100..........( 2 )
Adding ( 1 ) & ( 2 ) , we get
2x = 120
=> x = 60
•°• from ( 1 ), y = 60 - 20
•°• y = 40
•°• Speeds of cars at places A and B are 60 km/h and 40 km/ h respectively
