Correct Answer: 225
Solution :
Given: Speed of Sohan = 36 km/h
Speed of Amit = 54 km/h
Length of circular track = 1125 m
Relative speed of Sohan and Amit (same direction) = 54 – 36 = 18 km/h
18 km/h = 18 × $\frac{5}{18}$ = 5 m/s
Time taken by them to meet for the first time = $\frac{\text{length of the track}}{\text{relative speed}}$ = $\frac{1125}{5}$ = 225 sec.
Hence, the correct answer is 225.
