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

T = 9 min, speed = 40 km/h.
Jint : `upsilon T//(upsilon - 20) = 18, upsilon T//(upsilon+20)=6`
