In a circular race of 2, 500 m, Reeta and Geeta start running in the same direction from the same point and at the same time with speeds of 36 km/h and 54 km/h, respectively. After how much time will they meet for the first time on the track?

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Convert the speeds from km/h to m/s :Speed of Reeta = 36 \times \frac{5}{18} = 10 m/s Speed of Geeta = 54 \times \frac{5}{18} = 15 m/s Since they are running in the same direction, their relative speed is: Relative Speed = 15 - 10 = 5 m/s Time taken to meet for the first time on the circular track: Time = \frac{Length of Track}{Relative Speed} = \frac{2500}{5} = 500 seconds

Try it yourself before checking the explanation above.
