Question

Places A and B are 100 km from each other on a highway, One car starts from A and another from B at the same time. If the car travels in
the same direction, at different speeds, they meet in 5 hours. If they travel towards each other, they meet in in one hour. What are the
speed of two cars?
Select one:
O a 75 kmph, 100 kmph
O b. 80 kmph, 100 kmph
O C 60 kmph, 40 kmph
d. 60 kmph, 50 kmph​

Answer 1

Answer:

Speed of the cars are 60 km/hr and 40 km/hr.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Distance between point A and B is 100 km

let car starting from point A is Car A and Car starting from point B is Car B.

To find: Speeds of the cars

let Speed of Car A is x km/hr.

   Speed of Car B is y km/hr

According to the question, (using speed, distance, time formula)

5x - 5y = 100

x - y = 20 .......................(1)

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

Add equation (1) and (2),

2x = 120

x = 60

put this value in equation (2),

60 + y = 100

y = 40

Therefore, Speed of the cars are 60 km/hr and 40 km/hr.
