Question : Two cars started from the same piont. First car went towards the north and covered 255 km in 3 hours the second car went towards the south and covered 327km in 3 hours. Find the distance between two cars after one hour.

Solution : Let first car be A and second car be B.

• Distance covered by car A = 255 km
• Distance covered by car B = 327 km

Now,

⟹ speed of car A = covered distance/time taken

⟹ speed of car A = 255/3

⟹ speed of car A = 85 km/hour

Hence, here we know that distance covered by car A after one hour is 85 km.

⟹ Total distance covered by car A = covered distance + covered distance after one hour

⟹ Total distance covered by car A = 255 + 85

⟹ Total distance covered by car A = 340 km

similarly,

⟹ speed of car B = covered distance/time taken

⟹ speed of car B = 327/3

⟹ speed of car B = 109 km/hour

Hence, here we know that distance covered by car B after one hour is 109 km.

⟹ Total distance covered by car B = covered distance + covered distance after one hour

⟹ Total distance covered by car B = 327 + 109

⟹ Total distance covered by car B = 436 km

Now,

⟹ Distance between two car after one hour = Total distance covered by car A + Total distance covered by car B

⟹ Distance between two car after one hour = 340 + 436

⟹ Distance between two car after one hour = 776 km

Answer : Distance between car A and car B is 776 km.
