Two cars A and B are moving with a velocity of 30 kmph in the same direction. They are separated by 10 km . The speed of another car C moving in the opposite direction, if it meets these two cars at an interval of eight minutes is
Options
- A45 kmph
- B40 kmph
- C15 kmph
- D30 kmph
Correct answer
A. 45 kmph
Step-by-step solution
Two cars A and B are moving at the same speed therefore, the relative velocity of both cars with respect to the other is zero. Now, a car C is moving in the opposite direction let's say with velocity v C   then, the relative velocity of car C with respect to A and B is v CB = v CA = v C - v A Given that distance of separation between cars A and B is 10   km   and speed of cars is 30   kmph Also, given that car C crossed B and A in 8   min   or   8 60   hrs   then, it
