From a taxi stand, two cabs start at a speed of 54 km/hr at an interval of 29 minutes, both cabs travelling in the same direction. A man coming in the opposite direction towards the taxi stand meets the cabs at an interval of 12 minutes. Find the speed (in km/hr) of the man.
Given:
Speed of each cab 54 km/h.
Start interval between cabs = 29 min.
The man, moving in the opposite direction, meets the two cabs at an interval of 12 min.
Formula Used:
Separation between cabs (same speed) d =
Relative speed (cab vs man, opposite directions) =
Time between successive meetings
Solution:
Convert minutes to hours where needed.
d =
Given the man meets them 12 min apart = 0.2 h,
0.2

.5 - 54 = 76.5 km/h
