Correct Answer: 2 m/s
Solution : Given, Speed of Pankaj = $\frac52$ m/s Pankaj gives 20 m start to Arun. Time taken by Pankaj = Time taken by Arun – 4 seconds Time taken by Pankaj to cover 140 m = $\frac{140}{\frac52}$ = 56 sec ⇒ Time taken by Arun = 56 + 4 = 60 sec Pankaj gives a start of 20 m to Arun ⇒ Distance covered by Arun = (140 – 20) = 120 m ⇒ Speed = $\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$ = $\frac{120}{60}$ = 2 m/s Hence, the correct answer is 2 m/s.
