Question 39

Mandeep and Jagdeep had gone to visit Ranpur, which is a seaside town and also known for the presence of the historical ruins of an ancient kingdom. They stayed in a hotel which is exactly 250 meters away from the railway station. At the hotel, Mandeep and Jagdeep learnt from a tourist information booklet that the distance between the sea-beach and the gate of the historical ruins is exactly 1 km. Next morning they visited the sea-beach to witness sunrise and afterwards decided to have a race from the beach to the gate of the ruins. Jagdeep defeated Mandeep in the race by 60 meters or 12 seconds. The following morning they had another round of race from the railway station to the hotel. How long did Jagdeep take to cover the distance on the second day?

Solution

Jagdeep defeated Mandeep in a 1 km race by 60 m or 12 seconds.
Therefore, Mandeep can cover 60 m in 12 seconds
Speed of Mandeep = 5 m/s
Time taken by Mandeep to cover 1 km or 1000 m = 200 s
Time taken by Jagdeep to cover 1000 m = (200 - 12) = 188 s
Time taken by Jagdeep to cover 250 m = 47 s

Hence, option B is the correct answer.
