Two bicycles start at the same time from points A and B, moving toward each other. If the distance between A and B is 125 km and their speeds are 14 km/h and 11 km/h respectively then after how much time will they meet each other?

Question: Two bicycles start at the same time from points A and B, moving toward each other. If the distance between A and B is 125 km and their speeds are 14 km/h and 11 km/h respectively then after how much time will they meet each other?

Solution:
Given,
The distance between A and B = 125 km
Speed of 1^st bicycle = 14 km/h
Speed of 2^nd bicycle = 11 km/h

The bicycles are moving toward each other,
So their relative speed = (Speed of 1^st bicycle + Speed of 2^nd bicycle)
= (14 + 11) km/h
= 25 km/h

Time = (Distance ÷ relative speed)
= (125 ÷ 25)
= 5 h
