Answer:
→ 3 hours and 240 km
Step-by-step explanation:
→ Let the time taken by second car overtake to the first car be x hours after it started.
→ Total time taken by first car = (x + 1) hours.
→ Total distance covered by first car in (x + 1) hours = 60(x + 1) km .
→ Distance covered by second car in x hours = 80x .
Thus, Distance coved by first car is equal to second car .
∴ 60(x + 1) = 80x .
⇒ 60x + 60 = 80x .
⇒ 60 = 80x - 60x .
⇒ 60 = 20x .
⇒ 3 = x
∴ x = 3 .
Hence, the second car travelled in 3 hours to overtake the 1st car .
→ Therefore, time taken by second car to overtake the first car = 80x = 80 × 3 = 240 km.
✔✔ Hence, it is solved ✅✅.
Answer:
240 km.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let second car taken x hours to overtake 1st car after it started.
One hour later another car travelled. It means,
First car travelled for (x + 1) hours.
It is said same point and on the same road. It means distance covered by both the cars is same.
Now, coming to the point.
1st car travelling at 60 km/hour.So,
Distance covered by 1st car in (x + 1) hours = 60(x + 1) km.
[Distance = Speed * Time]
2nd car travelling at 80 km/hour.
Distance covered by 2nd car in x hours = 80 * x km.
[Distance = Speed * Time]
Now, we have to solve x value to know how much time it has taken.
=> 60(x + 1) = 80 * x
=> 60x + 60 = 80x
=> -20x = -60
=> x = 3.
Hence, Second car traveled for 3 hours.
Distance traveled by second car = 80x = 240 km.
