Hello!

Here is the answer for your question!

Question:-  If a runner takes as much time in running 20 metres as the car takes in covering 50 metres. The distance covered by the runner during the time the car covers 1 km is

------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:-

• Let the time taken by both car and runner be x

   So, runner covers 20m in x time and car covers 50m in x time

• car covers 1km in 20x time              [ $\frac{1000}{50}$ = 20]

• Runner covers 400m in 20x time      [20x = 20 × 20]

Hence, The distance covered by the runner during the time the car covers 1 km is 400 meters
