Answer:
The first bus will arrive 30 min after the second bus.
Step-by-step explanation:
Two buses start from the same bus stand at 8 am.
The second bus travels at 50 km/h and reaches the next stop at 10 am.
Time taken, t = 2 hours
Speed, u = 50 km/h
Let's find the distance between the bus stand and the next stop.
Speed = Distance/time taken
50 km/h = Distance/2
Distance = 50 × 2
Distance = 100 km
The first bus travels at 40 km/h.
Speed = 40 km/h
Distance = 100 km
Time taken = ?
Speed = Distance/time taken
40 = 100/time
time = 100/40
time = 2.5 hours
Therefore the first bus will arrive 30 min after the second bus.
