Time passed after the riders leave ---- t hrs
distance travelled by first rider = 8t
distance travelled by 2nd rider = 12t
8t + 12t = 30
20t = 30
t = 30/20 hrs = 3/2
distance covered by 1st = distance from town A = 8(3/2) = 12 km
check:
distance covered by the other = 12(3/2) = 18 km
and 12 km + 18 km = 30 km
my answer is correct
distance travelled by first rider = 8t
distance travelled by 2nd rider = 12t
8t + 12t = 30
20t = 30
t = 30/20 hrs = 3/2
distance covered by 1st = distance from town A = 8(3/2) = 12 km
check:
distance covered by the other = 12(3/2) = 18 km
and 12 km + 18 km = 30 km
my answer is correct
