Emanuel Abhishek Murmu  (9 years ago) Best Solution

let speed of ram and shakil be x and y resp.
case1: ram gives a start of 200m and beats shakil by 1 minute.

2000/x - 1800/y= -60
2000/x= 1800/y -60---------------------(1)

case2: ram gives shakil a start of 6 min and is beaten by 1000 meters

distance travelled by shakil in 6 minutes= (6*60*y) meters = 360y meters

1000/x = (2000- 360y)/y------------------(2)

solve for x, y..

answer is x=8minutes, y= 10minutes

LET r be velocity of ram and s be the velocity of Shakil then (2000/r)=(1800/s)-60......(1)
second case distance Shakil travel in 6 min=360s
again equating time for both 1000/r=(2000-360s)/s.......(2)
solving (1) &(2) we get
s=20/6
putting value in first we get time =480sec=8min
