A thief is noticed by a policeman from a distance of 200 m. The thief starts running and the policeman chases him. The thief and the policeman run at the rate of 10 km and 11 km per hour respectively. What is the distance between them after 6 minutes ?

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Relative speed between two = 6-1 = 5 round per hour

They will cross when one round will complete with relative speed,
which is 1/5 hour = 12 mins.

So 7:30 + 12 mins = 7:42

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Let the time in which he travelled on foot = x hour
Time for travelling on bicycle = (9 - x) hr

Distance = Speed * Time, and Total distance = 61 km
So,
4x + 9(9-x) = 61
=> 5x = 20
=> x = 4

So distance traveled on foot = 4(4) = 16 km

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

We need to calculate the distance, then we can calculate the time and finally our answer.
Lets solve this,

Let the distance travelled by x km
Time = Distance/Speed

\begin{aligned}
\frac{x}{10} - \frac{x}{15} = 2 \\
\text{[because, 2 pm - 12 noon = 2 hours]} \\

3x - 2x = 60 \\
x = 60.

Time = \frac{Distance}{Speed} \\
Time @ 10km/hr = \frac{60}{10} = 6 hours

\end{aligned}
So 2 P.M. - 6 = 8 A.M
Robert starts at 8 A.M.

He have to reach at 1 P.M. i.e, in 5 hours

So, Speed = 60/5 = 12 km/hr

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
Speed = \left(80*\frac{5}{18}\right) m/sec \\
= \frac{200}{9} m/sec \\
= 22\frac{2}{9} m\sec
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Relative speed of the thief and policeman = (11 – 10) km/hr = 1 km/hr

Distance covered in 6 minutes =
\begin{aligned}
\frac{1}{60}*6 = \frac{1}{10} \\
= 100 meters
\end{aligned}

So distance between them after 6 minutes = 200 - 100
= 100 meters
