Math Problem Statement
A and B start from the Opposite ends of a 50 m long pool, simultaneously. Whoever finishes 1000 m wins the race. The speeds of A and B are 5 m/s and 7 m/s respectively. How many times would they meet/cross each other before the end of the race?
Solution
To solve this problem, we need to determine how many times A and B will meet or cross each other before one of them finishes the race. Let's break it down step by step:
1. Understanding the Scenario:
- The pool is 50 meters long.
- A and B start at opposite ends of the pool.
