One moves at 60km/h, so in an hour, he’ll travel 60km
The other moves at 40km/h, so in an hour, he’ll travel 40km
This is towards each other, so, in an hour, we can say that they’ll get 60+40=100km closer.

This means that they get closer at 100km/h

Given that we have the distance of 150km, and the speed of closure at 100kmh, we can now use the equation

S=D/T

Rearrange to find T (times both sides by T)

S x T = D (now divide both sides by S)

T=D/S

Time = 150km divided by 100km/h

Time = 1.5 hours

Or one hour and 30 minutes

    Suppose time = x hours
    Both cars will have same time, but different distances depending upon speed.
    So,

    (60km/h).x + (40km/h).x = 150
    (100 km/hour ).x =150
    X= 1.5

    Simple is one is moving with 60km/hr means
    150/60 = 2.5 hr
    150/40 = 3.75 the difference between both is 3.75-2.5 = 1.25

    Speed = Distance/time
    t=d/s
    T1=150/60 =2.5
    T2=150/40= 3.75
    Meeting time=T2-T1
    =3.75-2.5
    =1.25
    Answer =1.25

    As they are moving towards each other so their relative velocity will b added
    60+40=100km/h
    Time= distance/speed = 150/100 = 1.5 sec
