Question

a hare pursued by a grey hound is 40 of her leaps ahead of him. while the hare takes 8 leaps, the grey hound takes 6 leaps. 4 leaps of grey hound is equal to 6 leaps of hare. in how many leaps will the grey hound overtake the hare?​

Answer 1

Answer:

When hare takes 4 leaps, the greyhound takes 3 leaps

When greyhound takes 1 leap hare will take 43 leaps

2 leaps of greyhound = 3 leaps of hare

1 leaps of greyhound = 32 leaps of hare

43 leaps of hare = 43×23=89 leaps of greyhound

Now the greyhound covers leaps(1−89)=19 in his every leap.

greyhound covers 20 leaps in 201/9

= 180 leaps
