Two cars travel at the same time from two point (A and B), which are 10km apart. It took the first car 20 minutes to travel from point A to B while it took 16 minutes for the other car to travel from point B to A. After how many minutes did the cars passed by each other if they travel at their respective uniform velocities.
Select one:
a. 9.67 minutes
