Question 6
Bholu and Golu are playing in a ground. They start running from the same point A in the ground and reach point B at the same time by following the paths marked 1 and 2 respectively as shown in Fig. Which of the following is/are true for the given situation?
As compared to Golu, Bholu covers a
(a) Longer distance but with a lower speed.
(b) Longer distance with a higher speed.
(c) Shorter distance with a lower speed.
(d) Shorter distance with a higher speed.
The correct answer is option (b).
From the figure, it is clear that the distance covered by Bholu is more than the distance covered by Golu. Since the time taken by both Golu and Bholu to reach point B are the same, Gholu has to move faster than Bolu. Hence, the speed of Bholu will be more than Golu.
