Question:

Two motorbikes Z and X are 777 meters apart.  They both start running separately in the same direction with speeds of 72 m/sec & 35 m/sec respectively.  In how much time will Z overtake X?

Options:

33 sec

22 sec

21 sec

15 sec

Correct Answer:

21 sec

Explanation:

Relative speed = 72 m/s - 35 m/s = 37 m/s

Time = \(\frac{Distance}{Relative speed}\)

        = \(\frac{777}{37}\) = 21 seconds
