Question

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.Find their speeds

Answer 1

here is your answer by Sujeet,

let to be speed of car A be x
let to be speed of car B be y
A/q
5x-5y=100
5(x-y)=100
x-y=20

Again,

x+y=5

solve this question by elimination method,
x-y=20
x+y=5

_____
2y=15
y=15/2

again,
x+y=100
x+15/2=100
x=175/2
that's all

Answer 2

$\huge{\mathcal{\underline{\green{Answer}}}}$

Let the speed of car at A be x km/h

and the speed of car at B be y km/h

As per the question,

5x - 5y = 100

x - y = 20 ... (1)

and x + y = 100 ... (2)

Solving (1) and (2), we get,

x = 60 and y = 40

Speed of the car at A = 60 km/h

Speed of the car at B = 40 km/h
