LET THEIR SPEEDS BE A AND B .
\n" ); document.write( "WHEN THEY WALK IN SAME DIRECTION THEIR RELATIVE SPEED IS A-B.
\n" ); document.write( "DISTANCE =20 KM.
\n" ); document.write( "TIME NEEDED TO MEET=20/(A-B) = 10..OR A-B=20/10=2.........................I
\n" ); document.write( "WHEN THEY WALK IN OPPOSITE DIRECTION THEIR RELATIVE SPEED IS A+B
\n" ); document.write( "DISTANCE =20 KM.
\n" ); document.write( "TIME NEEDED TO MEET=20/(A+B)=2...OR...A+B=20/2=10........................II
\n" ); document.write( "EQN.I+EQN.II GIVES
\n" ); document.write( "2A=12...OR...A=6
\n" ); document.write( "SO B=10-6=4......
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
