A thief is running away on a straight road in jeep moving with a speed of 9 \(\frac{\pi}{6} - 1.\) A police man chases him on a motor cycle moving at a speed of 10 \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}} \cdot 1.\) If the instantaneous separation of the jeep from the motorcycle is 100 m , how long will it take for the police to catch the thief
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
The relative velocity of policeman w.r.t. thief \(= 10 - 9 = 1 \text{ m/s}\) .
\ \ Time taken by police to catch the thief \(-\frac{100}{1}\) =100 sec
