converting 72kmph in m/sec we get 20m/sec
so 25-20=5sec/m

A is travelling at 72 k/h [Given]

=> A is travelling at 72*5/18 m/s = 20 m/s

B is travelling at 25 m/s [Given]

Therefore, the difference in their speed is 5 m/s

(1 km/hr = 5/18 mper sec)
so that, 72 km/hr=20mtr/sec
A's speed will be 20m/sec and B's speed will be 25 m/sec

hence the diff.of speed between them will be of 5 m/sec

Step-1
Convert the speed of A in meter per second.
As 1km=1000meters and 1hour = 3600 second
    => 72km/hour =72x1000
                               60x60
                            =20meter/sec
Step-2
Now we can substract the speeds of A and B
 Difference in speed= Speed of B- Speed of A
                               = 25-20
                               =5meter per second
Hence speed of B is more than A by 5m/s

Answer is 5m/s
when 72 converted to m/s becomes 20
and 25-20 = 5

72 km/hr = 72* (5/18) m/sec = 20 /sec
 so difference is 25 - 20 = 5 m/sec

To convert km/hr to m/s use 5/18

72*5/18=20m/s
25-20=5m/s
