Distance between Ram and Somesh = 225 m
Speed of Ram = (50/60) = (5/6) m/s
Speed of Somesh = (30/60) = (1/2) m/s
Formula used:
Distance = relative speed × time
Calculation:
Distance = relative speed × time
⇒ 225 = {(5/6) - (1/2)} × time
⇒ 225 = {(5 - 3)/6} × time
⇒ Time = (225 × 6)/2 = 225 × 3
⇒ Time = 675 sec = 11 minutes 15 sec
∴ The correct answer is 11 minutes 15 sec.
