A robbery was done at a shop. The shop is 1125 m away from a policeman. Thief starts running at x km/h and policeman starts chasing at 11 km/h at the same time. The policeman caught the thief in 1620 sec. What is the distance run by the thief?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Policeman has to run 1125 m distance extra
distance travelled by Policeman = 11 × \(\frac{5}{18}\) × 1620 = 11 × 5 × 90
Distance travelled by thief = 11 × 5 × 90 - 1125 = 3285 m
