Practicing Success
The driver of a car which is travelling at a speed of 80 km/h, locates a bus 80 m ahead of him travelling in the same direction. After 15 seconds, he finds that the bus is 40 m behind the car. What is the speed of the bus (in km/h)? |
46.2 51.2 44.2 55.4 |
51.2 |
Let speed of bus = S 120 m = (80 - S) × \(\frac{5}{18}\) × 15 ⇒ \(\frac{144}{5}\) = (80 - S) ⇒ 28.8 = (80 - S) ⇒ S = 80 - 28.8 = 51.2 |
