Two athletes are participating in a race on a circular track of 220 m. Ravi runs at the speed of 22 m/s, while Kapil runs at the speed of 11 m/s. They start from the same point, at the same time and in the same direction. After how many seconds will they meet for the first time?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 20 seconds.
Speed of Ravi = 22 m/sec
Speed of Kapil = 11 m/sec
Relative Speed = 22 m/s - 11 m/s = 11 m/s
Distance to be covered = 220 m
Time required = Distance/Relative Speed = 220/11 = 20 seconds
So, Ravi and Kapil will meet for the first time after 20 seconds.
