Question

How long (in hours) did the stray run to catch up? How far did it run?

• A. The distance covered by stray elephant =$\frac{6}{5}miles$
• B. The distance covered by stray elephant =$\frac{4}{3}miles$
• C. The distance covered by stray elephant =$\frac{5}{6}miles$
• D. The distance covered by stray elephant =$\frac{1}{3}miles$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

The distance covered by stray elephant =$\frac{5}{6}miles$

Given, stray elephant caught up in 5 minutes or $\frac{5}{60}hours=\frac{1}{12}hours$
Now, distance covered by stray elephant = $\frac{1}{12}\times 10miles=\frac{5}{6}miles$
