A dog spots a rabbit 200 meters away. The rabbit speeds off at 24 km/h and the dog pursues at 30 km/h. How much distance will the rabbit run before it is caught?
A. 750 meters
B. 800 meters
C. 900 meters
D. 850 meters
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Relative speed = 30 - 24 = 6 km/h = 6 * (5/18) = 5/3 m/s. Time to catch = 200 / (5/3) = 120 seconds. Distance run by rabbit = Speed * Time = [24 * (5/18)] * 120 = (20/3) * 120 = 800 meters.
