Question

Study the graph below showing the position of $3$ runners, Pooja, Mayur and Hemant at two different times.


Who ran the fastest in between the $2$nd and the $4$th minute?

• A. Pooja
• B. Mayur
• C. Hemant
• D. Both Pooja and Hemant

Answer 1

The correct option is A Pooja

As we know, $\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$
Here, the distance covered between 2${}^{nd}$ and 4${}^{th}$th min by Pooja is 40 m, by Mayur is 35 m and by Hemant is 25 m

In the above case, Pooja ran the fastest because in the given time she covered the maximum distance.
