Relative speed of the driver=(90+90)=180km/hr
he moves 90km=1/2hr=30mins
in 2 min=20 vehicle
1 min=20/2 vehicle
30 min=30*20/2=300 vehicles.

relative speed of driver= 180kmph =300m/min 600 meter in every 2 mins.
now, in 2 mins the driver passes 20 vehicles, on a stretch of 0.6km
so in a 90km stretch, the no of vehicles= 20*90/0.6=300 vehicles.

600 km is the ans

Nishchal Kaushal  (6 years ago)

speed = distance/time
as vehicles are moving from both the sides so relative speed is 180km/hr
let distance between two vehicles on one side be x
substituting the values in above formula we ger
180 = 20x/(2/60), so we get x=0.3km
let n be the no. of vehicles on road (on one side)
so 0.3n = 90, and so n = 300
so total vehicles on both sides will be 2n = 2 x 300 = 600 (answer)
