    Question

    Two cars start from the same point and travel in opposite directions. If one car travels at 40 km/h and the other at 50 km/h, after 5 hours, how far apart are they?

    A.

    450 km

    B.

    480 km

    C.

    410 km

    D.

    460 km

    Correct option is A

    Given:
    - Car 1 travels at a speed of 40 km/h.
    - Car 2 travels at a speed of 50 km/h.
    - Both cars travel in opposite directions for 5 hours.
    Concept Used:
    The total distance between the two cars after 5 hours is the sum of the distances each car has traveled.
    Distance traveled by Car
    Distance of Car 1 = Speed of Car 1×Time=40×5=200 km\text{Speed of Car 1} \times \text{Time} = 40 \times 5 = 200 \text{ km}
    Distance traveled by Car 2:
    Distance of Car 2 =Speed of Car 2×Time=50×5=250 km \text{Speed of Car 2} \times \text{Time} = 50 \times 5 = 250 \text{ km}
    Total distance between the two cars:
    Total Distance = 200 + 250 = 450 
    The two cars are 450 km apart after 5 hours
