    Raman covers 1 km in 8 min and suman cover 1 km in 10 min.
    If they starts together, then distance covered by suman in 8 min
    = (1000/10) x 8 = 800 m

    Correct Option: D

    Raman covers 1 km in 8 min
    and suman cover 1 km in 10 min.
    If they starts together, then distance covered by suman in 8 min
    = (1000/10) x 8 = 800 m
    ∴ Raman will beat suman by (1000 - 800 ) m = 200 m
