Question

A thief is noticed by a policeman from a
distance of 200 m. The thief starts running
and the policeman chases him. The thief
and the policeman run at the rate of 10 km
and 11 km per hour respectively. What is
the distance between them after 6
minutes?​

Answer 1

Answer:

100 metres

Step-by-step explanation:

rate of running of the thief = 10 km/hr

therefore,

distance ran by the thief in 1 hrs = 10 km

distance ran by the thief in 1 min = 10/60 = 1/6 km

distance ran by the thief in 6 mins = 1 km

rate of running of the policeman = 11 km/hr

therefore,

distance ran by the policeman in 1hr = 11 km

distance ran by the policeman in 1 min = 11/60 km

distance ran by the policeman in 6 min = 1.1 km

distance between them = 1.1 - 1 = 0.1 km = 100 m
