AFCAT Model Paper 1

Given:
A thief is spotted by a policeman at a distance of 200 m
Speed of thief = 25 km/hr
Speed of policeman = 30 km/hr
Formula used:
Distance = speed × time
Calculation:
Let the time taken by policeman to catch the thief be T hour
So, in this chase
Distance travelled by thief = 25T
And distance travelled by policeman = 30T
According to question,
Distance travelled by policeman = distance travelled by thief +

200

1000

⇒ 30T=25T+
