Arvind runs 5/4 times as fast as Bhanu. In a race, if Arvind gives a lead of 60m to Bhanu, find the distance from the starting point where both of them will meet.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 300 m.
Arvind runs 5/4 times as fast as Bhanu
Arvind gives a lead of 60 m to Bhanu
Let's assume
Arvind runs 5 meters for every 4 meters Bhanu runs
Arvind has a lead of 1m over Bhanu
According to the question, Arvind gives a lead of 60 m to Bhanu
Then,
⇒Rakesh will have this lead by covering = 60 × 5 = 300 m
Hence, they will meet at a point 300 m from the starting point.
