Correct Answer: After 5.04 minutes


Solution : Given: Speed of Sujata = 2.85 km/hr
Speed of Anjali = 1.5 m/s
Circular path = 693 m
Speed of Sujata = $2.85×\frac{5}{18}=0.792$ m/s
Since they are moving in opposite directions,
Relative speed = $1.5+0.792=2.292$ m/s
Time taken by them to meet for the first time = $\frac{693}{2.292}=302.4\; sec =\frac{302.4}{60}$= 5.04 minutes
Hence, the correct answer is 'After 5.04 minutes'.
