one plane speed = 560 km/h
\n" ); document.write( "other plane speed = 640km/h
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "they are travelling in opposite directions
\n" ); document.write( "so effective speed = 560+640= 1200 km/h
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "distance = 2100
\n" ); document.write( "speed = 1200 km/h
\n" ); document.write( "time = distance /speed
\n" ); document.write( "time 2100/1200
\n" ); document.write( "= 1.75 hours = 1 hour 45 minutes
\n" ); document.write( "they left at 10.30 am.
\n" ); document.write( "add 1 hour 45 minutes
\n" ); document.write( "12.15 pm. the time they will be 2100 km apart
\n" ); document.write( "CHECK
\n" ); document.write( "(7/4 * 640)+(7/4 * 560) = 2100 km
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
