\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Two men, A and B, start toward each other at the same time from points 510 miles apart. If they travel 40 and 4 milea an hour respectively, in how many hours will they meet.
\n" ); document.write( "RELATIVE SPEED WHILE TRAVELLING IN OPPOSITE DIRECTION TO EACH OTHER = S1+S2=40+4=44 MPH.
\n" ); document.write( "INTIAL DISTANCE OF SEPERATION =510 MILES.
\n" ); document.write( "FINAL DISTANCE OF SEPERATION =0
\n" ); document.write( "HENCE DISTANCE TO BE COVERED TOGETHER = 510 -0 =510 MILES
\n" ); document.write( "TIME NEEDED =DISTANCE / RELATIVE SPEED = 510/44 HRS
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "IN YOU CASE ,WE GET..WITH X AND X+6 SPEEDS AS GIVEN,
\n" ); document.write( "8= 480/(X+X+6)
\n" ); document.write( "8(2X+6)=480
\n" ); document.write( "2X+6=480/8=60
\n" ); document.write( "2X=60-6=54
\n" ); document.write( "54/2=27.
\n" ); document.write( "HENCE THEIR SPEEDS ARE 27 AND 33 MPH. \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
