Form the pair of linear equations in the following problems and find their solutions (if they exist) by any algebraic method :
Places A and B are 100 km apart on a highway. One car starts from A and another from B at same time. If the cars travel in the same direction at different speeds, they meet in 5 hours. If they travel towards each other, they meet in 1 hour. What are the speeds of the two cars ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
speed of one car = 60 km/h and speed of other car = 40 km/h
