The correct Answer is:
To find the relative speed of two persons moving in opposite directions, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the speeds of both persons. - The speed of the first person (Person A) is 5 km/h. - The speed of the second person (Person B) is 3 km/h. ### Step 2: Understand the concept of relative speed. - When two objects are moving in opposite directions, their relative speed is the sum of their individual speeds. ### Step 3: Calculate the relative speed. - To find the relative speed, we add the speed of Person A and the speed of Person B: \[ \text{Relative Speed} = \text{Speed of Person A} + \text{Speed of Person B} \] \[ \text{Relative Speed} = 5 \text{ km/h} + 3 \text{ km/h} = 8 \text{ km/h} \] ### Conclusion: - The relative speed of the two persons with respect to each other is 8 km/h. ---
