Expert Answer
Let d be the distance between location-A and location-B.
If car travels from A towards B with speed vA and another car travels from B towards A with speed vB, then we have
(9/7) vA + (9/7) vB = d ............................(1)
If car travels from A towards B with speed vA and another car travels from B in same direction with speed vB,
then we have , 9 vA - 9 vB = d ............................(2)
By equating, (1) and (2), we have, vA + vB = 7 ( vA - vB ) or 6 vA = 8 vB or vA = (4/3)vB
hence the ratio of speeds of cars staring from A and B is 4 : 3
