A thief saw a policeman, and he started running
A thief saw a policeman, and he started running at a speed of 18 m/s. After 12 seconds, the policeman starts running behind the thief at a certain speed. If the policeman covered 864 meters distance to reach the thief, then the speed (in m/s) of the policeman is :
एक चोर, एक पुलिसकर्मी को देखता है और वह 18 m/s की चाल से भागने लगता है। 12 सेकंड बाद, पुलिसकर्मी एक निश्चित चाल से चोर के पीछे दौड़ना शुरू करता है। यदि पुलिसकर्मी चोर तक पहुंचने के लिए 864 मीटर की दूरी तय करता है, तो पुलिसकर्मी की चाल (m/s में) ज्ञात कीजिए।

Speed of thief = 18 m/s Time before chase = 12 s
Distance covered by thief before chase = $18 \times 12 = 216 $ m
Distance to cover after chase starts = 864 - 216 = 648 m
Time taken to cover 648 m by thief while being chased = t = $ \frac{648}{18} = 36 $ s
Speed of policeman = $ \frac{864}{36} = 24$ m/s
Answer: 24 m/s
