एक पुलिसकर्मी एक चोर का पीछा करता हैं। पुलिसकर्मी तथा चोर की चाल क्रमश: 10 kmph और 8 kmph हैं। यदि पुलिसकर्मी 15 मिनट देर बाद चोर का पीछा करना शुरू करता है, तो पुलिसकर्मी को चोर को पकडंने में कितना समय लगेगा?
Detailed Solution & Logic
60 minutes / मिनट
Speed of policeman = 10 km/h, Speed of thief = 8 km/h
Time delay of policeman = 15 minutes = $ \dfrac{1}{4} $ h
Distance lead of thief = $ 8 \times \dfrac{1}{4} = 2 $ km
Relative speed = 10 - 8 = 2 km/h
Time to catch thief = $ \dfrac{2}{2} $ = 1hour = 60 minutes
Answer: 60 minutes
