Question

Ram and Shyam start running at the same time from point A and reach the point C at the same time. Ram follows path 1 while Shyam follows path 2 as shown in the below image. As compared to Ram, Shyam covers a ____.

• A. longer distance with higher speed
• B. shorter distance with lower speed
• C. longer distance with lower speed
• D. shorter distance with higher speed

Answer 1

The correct option is A longer distance with higher speed

The quantity that measures about how fast an object is moving is known as speed. Speed is the distance travelled per unit time. It is evident from the figure that Shyam covers a longer distance than Ram to reach point C. They start running at the same time from point A but both reach at the same time at point C which clearly shows that Shyam covers a larger distance with higher speed than Ram.
