A thief is spotted by a policeman from a distance of 150 meters. The thief runs at 11 km/h and the policeman chases him at 12 km/h. Find the distance covered by the thief before he is caught.
Explanation:
Relative speed = 12 - 11 = 1 km/h. Time to catch the thief = 0.15 km / 1 km/h = 0.15 hours. Distance covered by thief = Speed * Time = 11 km/h * 0.15 hours = 1.65 km = 1650 meters.
