Question Number 16491 by Tinkutara last updated on 23/Jun/17
Men are running in a line along a road  with velocity 9 km/hr behind one  another at equal distances of 20 m.  Cyclists are also riding along the same  line in the same direction at 18 km/hr  at equal intervals of 30 m. The speed  with which an observer must travel  along the road in opposite direction of  so that whenever he meets a runner he  also meets a cyclist is  (1) 9 km/h  (2) 12 km/h  (3) 18 km/h  (4) 6 km/h
