Two towns `A` and `B` are connected by a regular bus service with a bus leaving in either direction every `T` min. `A` man cycling with a speed of `20 km h^(-1)` in the direction `A` to `B` notices that a bus goes past him every `18 min` in the direction of his motion, and every `6 min` in the opposite direction. What is the period `T` of the bus service and with what speed (assumed constant )do the buses ply on the road?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`V=40kmh^(-1) and T=9` min.
