Two cars travel in the same direction at 40km/hr at a regular distance. A car comes in the opposite direction at 60km/hr. It meets each car in a gap of 8 seconds. What is the distance between the two cars?

• 222.22 mtrs
  
  If distance between two cars is x, then
  x =8* (40+60)*5/18 = 2000/9 mtrs = 222.22 mtrs

  as car is moving opposite dirn so 60+40=100km/hr
  so d=100*5/18*8=222.22mtrs

  to convert km/hr to m/sec multiply by 1000/3600 which is 5/18
