Rakesh runs 4/3 times as fast as Mukesh. In a race, if Rakesh gives a lead of 60 m to Mukesh, find the distance from the starting point where both of them will meet.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 240 m
Rakesh and Mukesh will have a distance between them at the start which has to be covered by Rakesh.
The ratio of Speed of Rakesh and Mukesh = 4 : 3
That is for every 3 m that Mukesh travels, Rakesh will travel 4 m.
To cover the 60 m, he will take 60 seconds to catch Mukesh.
In 60 seconds, he will travel 240 meters.
