Dear student,
Here is the solution of your asked query:
Suppose both the car meet each other after time "t"hour
Distance between Luckhnow and Varanasi=300 kmSpeed of car travelling from Varanasi to Luckhnow=30 km/hourWe know that, Distance travelled = speed×timeSo, distance travelled by a car from Varanasi to Luckhnow in time "t"=30tSimilarly distance travelled by second car from luckhnow to Varanasi=60tSo, total distance covered =30t+60t =300 km⇒90t=300⇒t=30090=103 hour =313 hourTherefore both cars meet each other after 313 hours
