A gives B a head-start of 10 seconds in a 1500 m race and both finish the race at the same time. What is the time taken by A (in minutes) to finish the race if speed of B is 6 m/s?
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
B
B's speed = 6 m/s
B's distance in 10 second = 10 × 6 = 60 m
\[\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {}&{\text{A}}&{\text{B}} \\ {{\text{Distance}} \to }&{1500}&{1440} \\ {{\text{Speed}} \to }&x&6 \\ {{\text{Time}} \to }&{240{\text{ second}}}&{4\min } \end{array}\]
∵ Time same
Time of B = Time of A
Time of A = 4 min
B's distance in 10 second = 10 × 6 = 60 m
\[\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {}&{\text{A}}&{\text{B}} \\ {{\text{Distance}} \to }&{1500}&{1440} \\ {{\text{Speed}} \to }&x&6 \\ {{\text{Time}} \to }&{240{\text{ second}}}&{4\min } \end{array}\]
∵ Time same
Time of B = Time of A
Time of A = 4 min
