Question

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

• A. 333.33 m
• B. 480 m
• C. 320 m
• D. 380 m

Answer 1

The correct option is A 333.33 m

When they move in same direction,
Their relative speed = (6 – 4) km/hr = 2 km/hr
Time taken = 10 minutes
Distance covered = speed $\times$ time

= 2 $\times$ $\frac{10}{60}$ km

= $\frac{1}{3}$ km

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

= 333.3 m
