. Points A and B are 100 km apart on a highway. One car starts from A and another from B at same time. If the cars travel in the same direction at a constant speed,they meet in 5 hours. If the cars travel towards each other, they meet in 1 hour. What are the speeds of the two cars?
\n" ); document.write( "LET THE SPEEDS OF THE CAR BE X AND Y KMPH
\n" ); document.write( "CASE 1.
\n" ); document.write( "WHEN GOING IN SAME DIRECTION
\n" ); document.write( "RELATIVE SPEED =X-Y
\n" ); document.write( "DISTANCE =100 KM
\n" ); document.write( "TIME =100/(X-Y)=5 HRS
\n" ); document.write( "X-Y=100/5=20.............................I
