In a circular race of 2,500 m, Reeta and Geeta start running in the same direction from the same point and at the same time with speeds of 36 km/h and 54 km/h, respectively. After how much time will they meet for the first time on the track?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 500 seconds.

Reeta's speed = 36 × 5185\over18 = 10 m/sec

Geeta's speed = 54 × 5185\over18 = 15 m/sec

Relative speed = 15 - 10 = 5 m/sec

Time = 250052500\over5 = 500 seconds
