Expert Answer:
The two buses start at the bus stand and in 12 minutes, first bus covers a distance b and the second bus covers a distance c.
v1 = 10 km/h
v2 = 30 km/h
t = 12 min = 1/5 hours
Distance travelled by first bus is b = 10 × (1/5) = 2 km
Distance travelled by second bus is c = 30 × (1/5) = 6 km
Now, using cosine rule for triangles, we get
?
