Va = 6.
Vb = 8.
Va/b = √(va+vb)= √6^2 + 8^2 = √100.
Va/b = 10.
Vb = 8.
Va/b = √(va+vb)= √6^2 + 8^2 = √100.
Va/b = 10.

@All.
Don't get confused between resultant and relative velocity they are completely different (although in this particular case, the value is the same). The result can be easily determined from vector operation.
Here, Va = 6i + 0j and Vb = 0i + 8j, Thus Vba = Vb - Va = -6i + 8j,
Hence Magnitude of Vba = Sqrt (6^2 + 8^2) = 10 kmph.
