If a man takes as much time in running 10 m as a car takes in covering 25 m, the distance covered by the man during the time car covers 1 km is

OPtion

1) 340 m
2) 180 m
3) 90 m
4) 400 m
5) 450 m
6) 250 m
7) 390 m
8) 290 m
9) 300 m
10)350 m

Solution

25:10 = 1000 : x
x = 400 m
Option 4)

25m car=10m man
1000m car=(10/25)*1000=400m

ratio of distances covered will be 2:5
hence when car travel 1000m,man will travel 400m

1 km=1000m
therefore he will cover 1000*10/25 m = 400 m

Let distance covered by man =x
now, 10/25=x/1000
on solving, x=400m

As the time taken is same, Ratio in distance = Car:Man = 25:10
From the second scenario, 25 : 10 :: 1000 : x (Let X be the distance covered in the second scenario)
X = (10*1000)/25 = 400 m
Hence, the answer is option (4).

for initial
man covers 10m as car takes 25m
man covers 400m as car covers 1km
ans 400m.

distance covered by man = 1000/25
= 40
then 10*40 = 400m

PRABHAT KUMAR   9 years AGO

Car travel 25 m=man travel 10 m
Car travel 1000 m=man travel (10/25)*1000m
400m

By ratio and proportion
distance traveled by man(d1) =10m
distance traveled by car(d2)=25m
d1/d2=s1/s2
10m/25m=distance covered by man/1000m
distance covered by man= 400m
