Question

Ram and Shakil run a race of 2000 meters. First, Ram gives Shakil a start of 200 meters and beats him by one minute. If , Ram gives Shakil a start of 6 minutes Ram is beaten by 1000 meters. Find the time in minutes in which Ram and Shakil can run the races separately.
A

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let x and y are the speeds of Ram and Shakil.. Then by problem we got following equation

2000/x=(1800/y)-1

1000/X=(2000/y)-6

solve equation 1 and 2, we get x=250 and y=200

Therefore, Time taken by Ram and Shakilk to complete a race of 2000m is 8 min and 10 Min
