Explanation:
It is given that,
Speed of bus 1 is 36 km/h and speed of bus 2 is 108 km/h. We need to find the distance between bus 1 and 2 after 20 minutes.
Time = 20 minutes = [tex]\dfrac{20}{60}\ h=\dfrac{1}{3}\ h[/tex]
As the buses are moving in opposite direction, then the concept of relative velocity is used. So,
Distance, [tex]d=v\times t[/tex]
v is relative velocity, v = 108 + 36 = 144 km/h
So,
[tex]d=144\ km/h \times \dfrac{1}{3}\ h\\\\d=48\ km[/tex]
So, the distance between them is 48 km after 20 minutes.
