Two runners starts simultaneously from the same point one a circular 200 m track in the same direction. Their speeds are 6.2 ms -1 and 5.5 ms -1 . How far from the starting point the faster will overcome the slower?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
200 = (6.2 – 5.5)t or t = 285.714 s
s = (6.2 × 285.714) = 1770m (faster), 1770 – 8 × 200 = 170
Thus 170 m away from the starting point along the track in the direction of run.
