Let, the speed of bus be vB and that of cyclist be vC. Case 1 Bus moving from A to B, Relative speed of bus =vB−vC=vB−20 Distance covered = Velocity × Time d=(vB−20)×18 ...(i) Case 2 Bus moving from B to A, Relative speed of bus =vB+vC =vB+20 Distance covered = Velocity × Time d=(vB+20)×6 ...(ii) From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get (vB−20)×18=(vB+20)×6 ⇒vB=40‌km∕h From Eq. (ii),(vB+20)×6=vBT ⇒(40+20)×6=40×T ⇒T=9 min =
