In a race of 800m Kaushik gives Piyush a start of 200m and then loses the race by 20 seconds. What is the speed of Piyush and Kaushik respectively ? If the ratio of respective speeds be 3:2.
Correct Answer: 20 m/s
Explanation:
Let the speed of Kaushik be Sk and speed of Piyush be Sp Let the time taken by Piyush be t second then, SkSp = 800t+20600t = 23 Since given ratio t = 20 s Speed of Piyush = Sp = 600/20 = 30 m/s Speed of Kaushik = 800/40 = 20 m/s
