Correct Answer: 320 seconds
Solution :
Given: Length of the track = 1600 m
The relative speed of A and B with both going in the same direction is 45 – 27 = 18 km/hr
⇒ $18 \times \frac{5}{18} = 5$ $\text{m/s}$
The time they meet again on the track for the first time when they are both running in the same direction
$=\frac{\text{Length of the track}}{\text{The relative speed of A with B in the same direction}}=\frac{1600}{5} = 320$ $\text{seconds}$
Hence, the correct answer is 320 seconds.
