Question 109

A and B are 20 km apart. A can walk at an average speed of 4 km/hour and B at 6 km/ hr. If they start walking towards each other at 7 a.m., when they will meet ?

Solution

Distance between A & B = 20 km

Since they are walking towards each other, their relative speed will be the sum of their individual speeds

=> relative speed = 6+4 = 10 km/h

=> Time taken to meet each other = $$\frac{20}{10}$$ = 2 hours

=> They will meet at (7+2) = 9.00 a.m.
