प्रश्न
Two cars start together in the same direction from the same place. The first car goes at uniform speed of 10 km h–1. The second car goes at a speed of 8 km h–1 in the first hour and thereafter increasing the speed by 0.5 km h–1 each succeeding hour. After how many hours will the two cars meet?

उत्तर
Let the two cars meet after n hours.
That means the two cars travel the same distance in n hours.
Distance travelled by the 1st car in n hours = 10 × n km
Distance travelled by the 2nd car in n hours = `n/2[2 xx 8 + (n - 1) xx 0.5]km`
`\implies 10 xx n = n/2 [2 xx 8 + (n - 1) xx 0.5]`
`\implies` 20 = 16 + 0.5n – 0.5
`\implies` 0.5n = 4.5
`\implies` n = 9
Thus, the two cars will meet after 9 hours.
