The distance between City P and City Q was 930 km apart. A car travelled at an average speed of 98 km/h from City P to City Q. At the same time, a bus travelled at an average speed of 88 km/h from City Q to City P. How much further did the car travel than the bus when the car met the bus on the way?
Combined speed of the car and the bus
= 98 + 88
= 186 km/h
Time taken for the car and the bus to meet
= 930 ÷ 186
= 5 h
Difference in the speed between the car and the bus
= 98 - 88
= 10 km/h
Distance that the car travelled further than the bus
= 5 x 10
= 50 km
Answer(s): 50 km
