buses a and b start from a common bus stop x . bus a begins to travel in a straight line away from bus b at a constant rate of 30 miles per hour . one hour later , bus b begins to travel in a straight line in the exact opposite direction at a constant rate of 50 miles per hour . if both buses travel indefinitely , what is the positive difference , in minutes , between the amount of time it takes bus b to cover the exact distance that bus a has covered and the amount of time it takes bus b to cover twice the distance that bus a has covered ?
"1 st part : - in 1 hr , bus a covers 30 miles . relative speed of bus abus b is ( 80 - 30 ) = 50 mph . so time required for bus b to cover the exact distance as a is 50 * t = 30 t = 3 / 5 = 36 min 2 nd part 80 * t = 2 d - b has to cover twice the distance 30 * ( t + 1 ) = d - a traveled 1 hr more and has to travel only only d so d / 30 - 2 d / 80 = 1 d = 120 t = 3 hrs = 180 min question asks for + ve difference between part 1 and part 2 in minutes = 180 - 36 = 84 min b"
