Q:
In a race of 800m Kaushik gives Piyush a start of 200m and then loses the race by 20 seconds. What is the speed of Piyush and Kaushik respectively ? If the ratio of respective speeds be 3:2.
Answer
Let the speed of Kaushik be Sk and speed of Piyush be Sp and let the time taken by Piyush be t second then,
t = 20 s
Speed of Piyush = Sp = 600/20 = 30 m/s
and Speed of Kaushik = 800/40 = 20 m/s
