Two athletes are participating in a race on a circular track of 220 m. Ravi runs at the speed of 22 m/s, while Kapil runs at the speed of 11 m/s. They start from the same point, at the same time and in the same direction. After how many seconds will they meet for the first time?

Question

Accepted Answer

Given:
- Length of circular track = 220 m
- Speed of Ravi = 22 m/s
- Speed of Kapil = 11 m/s
- Both start from the same point, same time, same direction.

To find when they meet for the first time, we consider their relative speed because they are running in the same direction.

Relative speed = Speed of Ravi - Speed of Kapil = 22 - 11 = 11 m/s

They will meet when the faster athlete (Ravi) gains one full lap over the slower athlete (Kapil).

Distance to gain = 1 lap = 220 m

Time taken to meet = Distance / Relative speed = 220 / 11 = 20 seconds

Therefore, they will meet for the first time after 20 seconds.
