Question 985318: A man leaves city A by car and travels at a constant speed of 50 km/hr towards city B which is 10 km away. Thirty minutes later a woman leaves city B en route to city A and travels on the same highway at a constant speed of 40 km/hr. Find how much time elapsed after they meet. Answer by macston(5194) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The man reaches city B in (10km/50km/hr=) 1/5 hour=12 minutes,
18 minutes before the woman leaves for city A.
They never meet, at least not on the road.
