begin mathsize 12px style left parenthesis straight i right parenthesis space straight B space is space 100 space km space ahead space of space straight A.
left parenthesis ii right parenthesis space Speed space of space straight B equals QR over PR equals fraction numerator 150 minus 100 over denominator 2 minus 0 end fraction equals 25 space km divided by straight h
left parenthesis iii right parenthesis space straight A space will space catch space straight B space at space point space straight Q space after space 2 space hrs space and space at space straight a space distance space of space 150 space km.
left parenthesis iv right parenthesis space Speed space of space straight A equals QS over OS equals fraction numerator 150 minus 0 over denominator 2 minus 0 end fraction minus 75 space km divided by straight h
space space space space space space space Speed space of space straight B equals 25 space km divided by straight h
