The distance between two places A and B on road is 70 kilometres.A car starts from A and other from B .If they travel in the same direction, they will meet after 7 hours. If they travel towards each other from B. If they will meet after 1 hour , then find their speeds.

Step-by-step explanation:
they meet when B travels for x m, then A will have travelled 70+x
m in the same time
Since, Speed =
Time
Distance
Speed of car at A =
7
x+70
And Speed of car at B =
7
x
And when they travel in the opposite direction, suppose they meet when A
travels for y m, then B will have travelled 70−y m in the same
time
Speed of car at A =
1
y
=y
And Speed of car at B =
1
70−y
=70−y
Equating the speeds of the cars in both the cases,
Speed of car at A,
7
x+70
=y
x+70=7y
=>x−7y=−70 --- (1)
Speed of car at B,
7
x
=70−y
=>x+7y=490 --- (2)
Adding equations 1 and 2, we get 2x=420=>x=210
So, Speed of car at A =
7
x+70
=
7
280
=40km/hr
Speed of car at B =
7
x
=
7
210
=30km/hr
