Thank you Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Time taken by A - Time taken by B = 1/3 hour
speed of A=96 km/h
speed of B = 86 km/h
Distance = x
x/86-x/96 =1/3
Multiply the equation by (96*86)
(96x-86x)= 96*86/3
10x= 32*86
x= 32*86/10
x= 3.2*86
x= 275.2 km
