Question : In a race of 1200 m, Ram can beat Shyam by 200 m or by 20 sec. What must be the speed of Ram?
Option 1: 14 m/sec
Option 2: 12 m/sec
Option 3: 10 m/sec
Option 4: 16 m/sec
Correct Answer: 12 m/sec
Solution :
Ram beats Shyam by 200 m or 20 sec.
This means Shyam covers a 200 m distance in 20 sec.
$\therefore$ Speed of Shyam = $\frac{200}{20}$ = 10 m/sec
Also, in the 1200 m race, Ram beats Shyam by 200 m.
Distance covered by Ram = 1200 m
Distance covered by Shyam in same time = 1000 m
Now, the 1000 m distance is covered by Shyam with a speed of 10 m/sec in $\frac{1000}{10}$ = 100 seconds
So, 1200 m distance is covered by Ram in 100 seconds.
$\therefore$ Speed of Ram = $\frac{1200}{100}$ = 12 m/sec
Hence, the correct answer is 12 m/sec.
