| Two cars are travelling towards each other with speeds of 45 km/hr and 63 km/hr respectively. What is the distance (in kilometers) between the two cars, ten seconds before they collide?
A. 0.5
B. 0.2
C. 0.3
D. 0.45
Right Answer is: C
SOLUTION
Distance travelled by them in 10 sec
[Since the cars are travelling towards each other the relative speed (s1 + s2). ]
so, the distance covered by both cars in 10 sec
= (45+63)× (10/3600) Km
here, [1 km/hr = (1/3600) km/sec]
= 0.3 Km
Note: This is the sum of distance travelled by them in the last 10 seconds.
Formula: Speed x Time = Distance
