Question:

Rakesh runs 4/3 times as fast as Mukesh. In a race, if Rakesh gives a lead of 60 m to Mukesh, find the distance from the starting point where both of them will meet.

Options:

232 m

240 m

264 m

255 m

Correct Answer:

240 m

Rakesh runs 4/3 times as fast as Mukesh

So , Ratio of speed of Rakes and Mukesh = 4 : 3

According to the question,

Then Rakesh will have this lead by covering = 60 × 4 = 240 m

Hence they will meet at a point 240m from the starting point.
