The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the scenario We have two cars (Car A and Car B) moving in the same direction at a speed of 30 km/h, separated by a distance of 5 km. A third car (Car C) is moving in the opposite direction and meets both Car A and Car B at an interval of 4 minutes. ### Step 2: Convert the time from minutes to hours Since the speed is given in km/h, we need to convert the time from minutes to hours for consistency. - Time = 4 minutes = \( \frac{4}{60} \) hours = \( \frac{1}{15} \) hours. ### Step 3: Calculate the relative speed of Car C with respect to Cars A and B Since Cars A and B are moving in the same direction at the same speed, their relative speed with respect to each other is 0. Therefore, we can focus on the relative speed of Car C with respect to the distance between Cars A and B. The distance between Cars A and B is 5 km. The time taken for Car C to meet both cars is \( \frac{1}{15} \) hours. Using the formula for speed: \[ \text{Relative Speed of Car C} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} = \frac{5 \text{ km}}{\frac{1}{15} \text{ hours}} = 5 \times 15 = 75 \text{ km/h} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the actual speed of Car C The relative speed of Car C with respect to Cars A and B is 75 km/h. However, since Car C is moving in the opposite direction to Cars A and B, we need to subtract the speed of Cars A and B from the relative speed to find the actual speed of Car C. \[ \text{Actual Speed of Car C} = \text{Relative Speed of Car C} - \text{Speed of Car A} = 75 \text{ km/h} - 30 \text{ km/h} = 45 \text{ km/h} \] ### Final Answer The speed of the car moving in the opposite direction is **45 km/h**. ---
