Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 11 minutes 15 seconds.
A constable Ram is 225 m behind a thief Somesh
It means that the difference between Ram and Somesh is 225 m
Speed of Ram = 50 m/min
Speed of Somesh = 30 m/min
⇒ Relative speed = 50 - 30 = 20 m/min
⇒ Time = Distance/Speed
⇒ Time = 225/20 = 45/4 = = 11 minutes and 15 seconds.
