Question

Two cars are moving in the same direction with a speed of 30 km/h. They are separated from each other by 5 km. Third car moving in the opposite direction meets the two cars after an interval of 4 minutes. The speed of the third car is

Answer 1

velocity of A wrt C = va-vc

at time t=0 car C met car B

at t=4/60 hrs. car A will meet Car C.

distance traveled by Car A = 5km

=> 5= (Va-Vc)4/60

300/4= 30- Vc

75- 30 = - Vc

Vc = -45 kmph. (- shows opposite direction)
