The distance between Sotik and Nakuru is 130km. car x starts from Sotik at 8.00 a.m and travels at 40km/hr towards Nakuru. A second car y starts traveling from Nakuru at 8.15 a.m towards Sotik at an average speed of 35km/hr. At what time will the two cars meet?

Answers

Distance covered by car x in 15m = 15/60 x 40 = 10km
Relative speed = 75km/h
Time taken = 120/75 = 1hr 36m
Meeting time will be 8.15 + 1hr 36mins = 9.51a.m
