Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Distance between the constable and the thief = 114 meters
Speed of the constable = 21 meters/min
Speed of the thief = 15 meters/min
Formula Used:
Time = Distance / Relative Speed
Relative Speed = Speed of the constable - Speed of the thief
Calculation:
Relative Speed = 21 - 15 = 6 meters/min
Time = Distance / Relative Speed
Time = 114 / 6
⇒ Time = 19 minutes
The constable will catch the thief in 19 minutes.
