there is a 100 mtr race between a hare and a tortoise. speed of hare=10m/s and dat of tortoise is 1m/s. tortoise starts 10 m ahead of hare in the begining. that is hare starts from 0m and hare from 10m. evidently the hare takes 10s to complete race and tortoise 90 secs, which means hare wins. but now if we try applying calculus. when hare covers 10m tortoise covers 1 m(from start). every time the hare reaches previous position of tortoise, the tortoise advances by some distance(however small it may be). thus if we take limit->0 we shall see dat the hare will never cross the tortoise. Is this contradiction possible??

• No contradiction.
  Hare will cross tortoise in 2nd second.
