Answer 1

Answer:

speed of A- 10 speed of y -35km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of car starting from A be 'x' km/h and speed of car starting from B be 'y' km/h.

Total distance=80 km

Also 1 hour 20 mins= 4/3 hour

When car moves in same direction,

Distance travelled by y= 8y km

Distance travelled by x= 8x= 80+8y

Now, Equation formed is 8x=80+8y

=> 8x-8y=80

=> x-y=10 ----(1)

Similarly, For opposite direction,

Distance travelled by x= (4/3)x

Distance travelled by y= (4/3) y

Also total distance covered= 4/3*x+4/3y

=> 80= 4x+4y/3

=> 240= 4x+4y

60=x+y ----(2)

x-y=10 ----(1)

=> x= 10+y ----(3)

Substituting the value of (3) in (2) we get,

60= 10+y+y

=> 60-10=2y

=> 50=2y

=> 25=y

Also, x=10+y=> x= 10+25=> x=35
