Answers
Given : they are on a straight road at a distance of 1 km from each other at point A and B respectively.
Ram's speed is 7 times the speed of Shyam.
Boar can only be caught by Ram and Shyam together.
To Find : At what distance (in meters) from A do they catch the boar
Solution:
Ram and Shyam are on a straight road at a distance of 1 km from each other .
Boar can only be caught by Ram and Shyam together.
Hence Distance covere by Ram and shyam together = 1 km as they are 1 km Apart.
Shyam Speed = A km/hr
Ram speed = 7A km/hr
Let say After T hr they catch Boar
Distance covered by Shyam = AT km
Distance covered by Ram = 7AT km
AT + 7AT = 1 km
=> 8AT = 1 km
=> AT = 1/8 km
distance from A = Distance covered by Ram = 7AT = 7/8 km
7/8 x 1000 = 875 m
distance (in meters) from A they catch the boar = 875 m
