A thief is noticed by a policeman from a distance of 92 m. The thief starts running and the policeman chases him. The thief and the policeman run at the speed of 90 km/h and 104.4 km/h, respectively. In how much time will the policeman catch the thief?

Question

Accepted Answer

Step 1: Convert speeds from km/h to m/s.
- Speed of thief = 90 km/h = (90 * 1000) / 3600 = 25 m/s
- Speed of policeman = 104.4 km/h = (104.4 * 1000) / 3600 = 29 m/s

Step 2: Calculate relative speed of policeman with respect to thief.
- Relative speed = 29 m/s - 25 m/s = 4 m/s

Step 3: Calculate time taken to catch the thief.
- Distance = 92 m
- Time = Distance / Relative speed = 92 / 4 = 23 seconds

Therefore, the policeman will catch the thief in 23 seconds.
