Detailed Solution

The two cars (say A and B) are moving with same velocity, the relative velocity of one (say B) with respect to the other

A,vBA=vBvA=vv=0

So the relative separation between them 5km always remains the same.

Now if the velocity of car (say C) moving in opposite direction to A and B, is vC relative to ground then the velocity of car C relative to A and B will be  vrel=vCv 

But as v is opposite to vC ,so

vrelvC30=vC+30km/hrSo, the time taken by it to cross the cars A and B

t=dvrel

460=5vC+30

vC=45 km/hr
