    Question

    A cyclist noticed another cyclist ahead moving at 8 m/s

    and increased his speed to 14 m/s to catch him. If the distance between them was 150 metres, find the time required to catch up.
    A 20 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 25 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 35 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 30 seconds Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Relative speed of faster cyclist w.r.t slower cyclist = 14 − 8 = 6 m/s

    So, required time = 150 ÷ 6 = 25 seconds
