Speed of motor bike= 72km/hr = 72x1000/3600 = 20 m/sec

Speed of police jeep = 108 km/hr = 108x1000/3600 = 30 m/sec

Let the jeep catch up the bike after t sec.

At this time the distance travelled by the jeep = speed x time= 30 x t

Distance travelled by motor bike = 20 x (t+10)

At this distance both will be at same position thus equating above values

30t = 20 (t+10)

t= 20 sec.

Thus distance travelled by jeep in 20 sec = 30x20= 600 m
