Answer» Speed of Kishore = 6 km/hr= 6*5/18 = 5/3 m/sSpeed of son = 3.6 km/hr= 3.6*5/18 = 1 m/s We know,Distance = speed*time Let goal post is at distance dLet time taken by Kishore = t Then, For Kishore d = 5/3 * t...... (1) For sond = 1*(t + 12).....(2) Now, 5t/3 = t + 125t = 3t + 362t = 36t = 36/2 = 18 Therefore, Distance of goal post from starting point = 5/3 * 18= 5*6 = 30 m Speed of kishore=6km/hr=6*5/18=5/3 m/sspeed of son =3.6km/hr =3.6*5/18=1m/s |
