Two cyclists,moving with equal speeds of 10 km/hr,are approaching each oher along a straight road.When the distance between them is 20 km a fly starting from cycle,keeps on flying alternatively from one cycle to the other.If the fly has a constant speed of 40 km/hr.Find the total distance travelled by the fly before the cyclists meet is.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Relative velocity of cyclists of approaching =`20km//hr`
Time taken to meet the cyclists`=(20)/(20)=1 hour`
Distance travelled by fly =`"speed"xx"time"`
`=40xx1=40km.`
