3. Two cars start at the same time from the same location and go in the same direction. The speed of the first car is 50 km/h and the speed of the second car is 60 km/h. The number of hours it takes for the distance between the two cars to be 20 km is ____________.

  • Option : B
  • Explanation :
    Speed of car A = 50 km/hr
    Speed of car B = 60 km/hr
    Since, both cars A and B are moving in same direction, the relative speed = 60 – 50 = 10 km/hr
