      Question

      A cat, running at a speed of 54 km/h and positioned 240

      meters ahead of a dog, can be caught by the dog in 6(2/3) seconds. Determine the time it takes for the dog to overtake a bus traveling at 21 m/s. The bus can pass a stationary man in 21(2/3) seconds, and there is no initial separation between the bus and the dog. (Note: The lengths of the cat and the dog are considered negligible.)
      A 95/7 seconds. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 91/6 seconds. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 88/3 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 67/7 seconds. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ, Speed of the Cat = 54 × (5/18) = 15 m/s Distance covered by the dog in 6(2/3) seconds = 240 + distance covered by the cat in 6(2/3) seconds  = 240 + 15 × (20/3)  = 240 + 100 = 340 metres So, speed of the dog  = 340 ÷ (20/3) = 51 m/s Relative speed of the dog with respect to the bus  = 51 – 21 = 30 m/s Length of the bus  = 21(2/3) × 21  = (65/3) × 21 = 455 metres So, time taken by the dog to overtake the bus  = 455/30  = 91/6 seconds
