Question
Car ‘P’ can cross a 600 metre long bridge in 20 seconds. Car ‘P’ is 120 metres ahead of car ‘Q’ which is travelling in the same direction as that of car ‘P’ with a speed of 36 m/s. After how many seconds will car ‘Q’ meet car ‘P’?
Solution
Speed of car ‘P’ = 600 ÷ 20 = 30 m/s So, relative speed of car ‘Q’ with respect to car ‘P’ = 36 – 30 = 6 m/s Distance between the two cars = 120 metres So, time taken by car ‘Q’ to meet car ‘P’ = 120 ÷ 6 = 20 seconds
