distance between 2 places A and B on  road is 70 km. a car starts from A and other   from B .if they travel in same direction  they will meet after 7 hours. if they travel  towards each other they will meet after  1 hour then find their speeds

v_A −v_B =((70)/7)=10 km/h  v_A +v_B =((70)/1)=70 km/h  ⇒v_A =((70+10)/2)=40 km/h  ⇒v_B =((70−10)/2)=30 km/h
$${v}_{{A}} −{v}_{{B}} =\frac{\mathrm{70}}{\mathrm{7}}=\mathrm{10}\:{km}/{h} \\ $$$${v}_{{A}} +{v}_{{B}} =\frac{\mathrm{70}}{\mathrm{1}}=\mathrm{70}\:{km}/{h} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{v}_{{A}} =\frac{\mathrm{70}+\mathrm{10}}{\mathrm{2}}=\mathrm{40}\:{km}/{h} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{v}_{{B}} =\frac{\mathrm{70}−\mathrm{10}}{\mathrm{2}}=\mathrm{30}\:{km}/{h} \\ $$

Case-1: If the cars travel in                     same direction.   Let the cars meet at C such that  BC=x kms ⇒ AC=x+70 kms   CarA:  x+70 kms in 7 hours                ∴ Speed: ((x+70)/7) km/h  CarB: x kms in 7 hours                ∴ Speed: (x/7) km/h  Case-2: If the cars travel in                     opposite direction.   Let the cars meet at D such that        AD=y kms ⇒ BD=70−y kms   CarA:  y kms in l hour.              ∴Speed: y km/h   CarB:  70−y kms in l hour.                ∴ Speed: 70−y km/h  As the cars have same speed in  both cases:        ((x+70)/7)=y  ∧  (x/7) =70−y       (x/7) =70−((x+70)/7)          x=490−x−70          x=210 kms           y= ((x+70)/7)= ((210+70)/7)=40 kms  Speed of CarA=y km/h=40 km/h  Speed of CarB=70−y km/h=30 km/h
