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

Places A and B are 30 km apart and they are on a straight road. Humid travels from A to B on bike. At the same time Joseph starts from B on bike, travels towards A. they meet each other after 20 minutes . If Joseph would have started from B at the same time but in the opposite direction (instead of towards A) Hamid would have caught up with him after 3 hours . find the speed of Hamid and Joseph .

Two coast guard stations are located 600 km apart at points A(0,0) and B(0,600). A distress signal from a ship at P is received at slightly different times by two stations. It determined that the ship is 200 km farther from station A than it is from station B. Determine the equation of hyperbola that passes through the location of the help.

Two soldiers A and B in two different underground bunkers on a straight road, spot an intruder at the top of a hill.

If A and B stand 5 km apart, find the distance of the intruder from B.

Two long, straight wires a and b are 2*0 m apart, perpendicular to the plane of the paper as shown in figure . The wire a carries a current of 9*6 A directed into the plane of the figure,The magnetic field at the point P at a distance of 10/11 m from the wire b is zero. Find (a) the magnitude and direction of the current in b, (b) the magnitude of the magnetic field B at the point s and (c) the force per unit length on the wire b .

A man is walking towards a vertical pillar in a straight path, at a uniform speed. At a certain point A on the path, he observes that the angle of elevation of the top of the pillar is 30^0 . After walking for 10 minutes from A in the same direction, at a point B, he observes that the angle of elevation of the top of the pillar is 60^0 . Then the time taken (in minutes) by him, from B to reach the pillar, is : (1) 6 (2) 10 (3) 20 (4) 5
