Answer: Option B
Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:
B's speed = 6 m/sB's distance in 10 second = 10 × 6 = 60 m
\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {}&{\text{A}}&{\text{B}} \\ {{\text{Distance}} \to }&{1500}&{1440} \\ {{\text{Speed}} \to }&x&6 \\ {{\text{Time}} \to }&{240{\text{ second}}}&{4\min } \end{array}
∵ Time same
Time of B = Time of A
Time of A = 4 min
