A hound pursues a fox that is initially 150 meters ahead. The fox flies at 30 km/h and the hound targets at 36 km/h. Find the total distance the fox runs before capture.
A. 850 meters
B. 800 meters
C. 750 meters
D. 700 meters
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Relative speed = 36 - 30 = 6 km/h = 5/3 m/s. Time required for capture = 150 / (5/3) = 90 seconds. Distance run by fox = Speed * Time = [30 * (5/18)] * 90 = (25/3) * 90 = 750 meters.
