In a 200 m race, Rohan completes the race in 8 seconds and Vivan completes the race in 10 seconds. By how much distance Rohan beats Vivan?
Solution
When Rohan finishes the 200 m race, Vivan is still some distance behind the finish line. This distance is how much Rohan beats Vivan by.
Given:
- Total race distance = 200 m
- Rohan's time = 8 seconds
- Vivan's time = 10 seconds
Speed = Distance ÷ Time
Vivan's speed = 200 ÷ 10
Vivan's speed = 20 m/s
When Rohan finishes at 8 seconds, the distance Vivan has covered is:
Distance = Speed × Time
Vivan's distance = 20 × 8
Vivan's distance = 160 m
When Rohan finishes at 200 m, Vivan is at 160 m.
Distance by which Rohan beats Vivan = 200 - 160
Distance by which Rohan beats Vivan = 40 m
Therefore, Rohan beats Vivan by 40 m.
