A policeman notices a thief from a distance of 300 m. The thief starts running and the policeman chases him. The thief and the policeman run at speeds of 10 km/h and 12 km/h, respectively. What will be the distance between them (in m) after 6 minutes?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 100.
Relative speed = 12 - 10 = 2 km/h = 100/3 meter/minute
Distance covered by the policeman = (100/3) × 6 = 200 m
Remaining Distance = 300 - 200 = 100 m
