Question

Two athletes are running from the same place at speed of 6km/hr and 4km/hr.Find the distance between them after 10 minutes, if they move in same direction.(in meters)

• A. 66m
• B. 333.33m
• C. 599.6m
• D. 364m

Answer 1

The correct option is B

333.33m

Given, the speed of athlete 1 = 6km/hr

Speed of athlete 2= 4km/hr

Since they are moving in the same direction,the relative speed = $(s1-s2)=(6-4)=2km/hr$

Time= 10 min $=\frac{10}{60}=\frac{1}{6}hrs$

$distance=speed\times time$

$=2\times \frac{1}{6}=\frac{1}{3}km$

$=\frac{1}{3}\times 1000=333.33m$
