ans >a
Let x and y are the speeds of Ram and Shakil.. Then by problem we got following equation
2000/x=(1800/y)-1
1000/X=(2000/y)-6
solve equation 1 and 2, we get x=250 and y=200
Therefore, Time taken by Ram and Shakilk to complete a race of 2000m is 8 min and 10 Min

b  (9 years ago)

Ans is b)
1-as r gives start of 200m to s n beat him by 1min, so r covers 200m in 1min so to cover 2000m he will take 10 min
2- as r gives 6min to s n beaten by 100m means s takes 6 min to cover 1000m so he will take 12min to civer 2000m
so ans is b

a/b=2000/(1800-b)=1000/(2000-6b)
2000/(1800-b)=1000/(2000-6b)
=> 4000-12b=1800-b
=>b=200

Again,
a/200=2000/(1800-200)
=>a=250

time taken by a(ram) 2000/250=8min
time taken by b(shakil)= 2000/200= 10min

D 1 =200+x D 2 =x per 1 min R-----------S---------X----------------------2000 for 1min
200 m x m
so for 1 min distence is 200+x and x their velocity are v1=(200+x) /1 v2=x/1 m/min
given if S starts 6 min beaten by 1000m =>relative velocity=1000/6
=>S covers for 1min x m =>6 min 6x
relative velocity =[(200+x)-6x]/6=1000/6
=>x=-180 from starting to 200 m then x=20m or D2=20m =>D1 220m for 1min
V1=220/1 m/min V2=20/1 m/min
=>t=D/V=> Rt=2000*1/220=100/11=9.99 min
=>st=2000*1/20=100 min
