A. 25 : 28
B. 25 : 26
C. 28 : 25
D. 56 : 25
Answer: Option C
Solution(By Examveda Team)
The distance covered by policeman in 5 steps is equal to that of thief in 7 steps⇒ 5P = 7T
P : T
7 : 5 (distance covered in each step)
⇒ And policeman goes 8 steps while thief moves 10 steps
Policeman | : | Thief | ||
Steps | 8 | : | 10 | |
Distance in each step | 7 | : | 5 | |
56 | : | 50 | ||
Speed | = | 28 | : | 25 |
