called
(a) Transposition (b) Distributivity
(c) Commutativity (d) Associativity

Distance between two stations A and B is 690 km. Two
cars start simultaneously from A and B towards each
other, and the distance between them after 6 hours is 30
km. If the speed of one car is less than the other by 10
km/hr, find the speed of each car.
A steamer goes downstream from one point to another in 7
hours. It covers the same distance upstream in 8 hours. If
the speed of stream be 2 km/hr, find the speed of the
steamer in still water and the distance between the ports.
