ans =800
tiger is 50 leaps of own behind that means tiger 50*8=400 m behind to deer
again in one minute tiger covers 8*5=40 and that deer 4*5=20
now after 20 minute dear will cover 20*20=400 and tiger 40*2=800
as tiger has to cover 400 extra so 800 is the answer

tiger is 50 of its own leap behind and covers 8m per leap
So he iz 50*8=400m behind
his speed = 5 leaps per min = 5*8= 40 m per min
deer covers 5m per leap
speed of deer = 4 leaps per min = 4*5 = 20 m per min
SO speed of tiger is double than deer
till the time tiger covers 800 m deer covers only 400 m
tiger was 400m behind so upto when he covers 800m he will catch the deer
So, ans= 800 m

50 leaps of tiger = 50*8 =400 m
so the at first distance b/w tiger and deer is 400m.
also tiger cover 5 leaps i.e 5*8=40 m/min
and deer cover 4 leaps i.e 4*5=20 m/min
now let after x min tiger catch the deer.
in x min tiger cover 40x+400 m.
and deer cover 20x m.
so, 40x-400=20x
or; 20x=400
or, x=20min
so tiger have to complete 40*20=800 mtr

tiger-5*8=40m/min 80 120
dear-4*5=20m/min +50=70 90 110
they will coincide at 100m in 2min 30 sec
ans is 100 m
