    Question

    A thief is noticed by a policeman from a distance of 600 m.

    The thief starts running, and the policeman chases him. The thief and the policeman run at the rate of 15 km/h and 18 km/h, respectively. What is the distance between them after 10 minutes?
    A 600 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 100 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 120 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 180 m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ;
    Relative speed of policeman w.r.t thief = 18 - 15 = 3 km/h

    Initial distance between thief and policeman = 600 m

    Total distance diminished between them in 10 min = 3 × (10/60) × 1000 = 500 m
    Hence, distance between them after 10 min = 600 - 500 = 100 m
