Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables

Short Answer Type

201. Places A and B are 100 km. apart on a highway. On car starts from A and another from B at the same time. If the cars travel in the same direction at different speeds, they meet in 5 hours. If they travel towards each other, they meet in 1 hour. What are the speeds of the two cars ?

Fig. 3.26.
Let the speeds of two cars be x km./hr. and y km/hr.
Then, according to the given problem,
5x - 5y = 100
⇒ x - y = 20 ...(i)
and    x + y = 100 ...(ii)
By adding, we get    2x = 120
⇒    x = 60
By subtracting, we get 2y = 80
⇒    y = 40
Hence, the required speeds of the two cars are: 60 km/hr. and 40 km/hr.
