Vehicle A and B, moving at a constant velocities, are 8km apart at the starting time of 3:40pm.
\n" ); document.write( " If after 40 mins, Vehicle B overtakes A, at what time will they be 10 km apart?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "We are dealing with their relative speed here.
\n" ); document.write( "40 min = 2/3 hr
\n" ); document.write( "speed = dist/time
\n" ); document.write( "We know from the given information that the difference in their velocities is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"8%2F%282%2F3%29\" = 12 km/hr the relative speed to each other
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "How long will it take to travel 10 km at 12 km/hr?
\n" ); document.write( "\"10%2F12\" = \"5%2F6\" hr which is \"5%2F6\" * 60 = 50 min
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Travel time from 3:40. 50 min + 40 min = 90 min from 3:40: 5:10 pm
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
