Expert Answer
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
