Question 870226: A car and a bus were travelling towards each other at uniform speeds. They were 250 km apart at noon and passed each other at 2:00 pm If the speed of the car was 80 km/h, find the speed of the bus. Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! let speed of bus be x
speed of car =80 km/h
moving towards each other
speed = (x+80)
d=250 km
time =2
d=rt
250=(x+80)*2
/2
125=x+80
125-80=x
45 km/h speed of bus
