Question

When two bodies move uniformly towards each other the distance between them diminishes by 16 metre in 10 seconds. If the bodies move with the same speeds in the same direction, the distance between them increased by 3 metre in 5 seconds. Compute their speeds. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

sum of distance travelled by two bodies=16m

velocity of A +velocity of B= 16/10 = 1.6m/s

velocity of A - velocity of B= 3/5= 0.6m/s

velocity ofA= 1.1m/s and velocity of B =0.5 m/s
