Distance between two points A and B is 570 km. From point A car starts running towards B at 45 km/hr. At the same time another car starts running from B towards A at a speed of 50 km/hr. After how much time they will meet in each other? Correct Answer 6

As they are moving in the opposite direction

⇒ Relative speed of the cars = (45 + 50) = 95km/hr

Let after X hours they will meet each other

According to question,

⇒ 95 × X = 570

⇒ X = 6

∴ The cars will meet each other after 6 hours.
