Correct Answer: $\frac{55}{3}$ m/s


Solution : speed of a car = 1500 metres/minute
= $\frac{1500}{60}$ m/s
= 25 m/s
Speed of sprinter = $\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$
= $\frac{200}{30}$ m/s
= $\frac{20}{3}$ m/s
Required difference = $25-\frac{20}{3}$
= $\frac{75-20}{3}$
= $\frac{55}{3}$ m/s
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{55}{3}$ m/s.
