Places `P_(1)" and "P_(2)` are 250 km apart from each other on a national high way. A car starts from `P_(1)` and another from `P_(2)` at the same time. If they go in the same direction then they meet in 5 hours. If they go in opposite directions they meet in 25/13 hours. Find their speeds.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
Speed of car X = 90 km/h
Speed of car Y = 40 km/h
