Answer: [tex]56\ kmph,\quad 50\ kmph[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Two cars are 600 km apart moving towards each other
Difference in their speed is 6 kmph
After 4.5 hr, they are 123 km apart that is, they covered a distance of [tex]600-123=477\ km[/tex] in 4.5 hours
Suppose their speeds is [tex]v_1\ \text{and}\ v_2[/tex]
[tex]\therefore v_1-v_2=6\quad \ldots(i)[/tex]
Also, distance traveled is given by
[tex]\Rightarrow 477=[v_1+v_2]4.5\\\Rightarrow v_1+v_2=106\quad \ldots(ii)[/tex]
Solve, (i) and (ii) , we get [tex]v_1=56\ kmph\ \text{and}\ v_2=50\ kmph[/tex]
