Question

A dog and a cat are 200 meters apart when they see each other. The dog can run at a speed of 30 m/sec, while the cat can run at a speed of 24 m/sec. a How soon will they meet if they simultaneously start running towards each other?

Answer 1

${\huge {\underline {\mathfrak {\orange {Answer}}}}}$

Given:

• Distance between cat and dog = 200m
• Speed of the dog = 30m/sec
• Speed of the cat = 24m/sec

Find:

• How soon will they meet if they start running towards each other = ?

Solution:

As we know,

$Time = \frac {Distance}{Speed}$

Time taken by the dog to cover the distance

$Time = \frac {Distance}{Speed}$

$Time = \frac {200m}{30m/sec}$

$Time =6.66 seconds$

Time taken by the cat to cover the distance

$Time = \frac {Distance}{Speed}$

$Time = \frac {200}{24}$

$Time = 8.33 seconds$

If they simultaneously start running towards each other , then the time taken

$Time = \frac {Speed \:of \:dog}{Speed \:of \:cat}$

$Time = \frac {6.66sec}{8.33sec}$

$Time =0.79951$

They will reach towards each other in less then 0.79 seconds.
