Two cars start at the same time from one point and move along two roads at right angles to each other. Their speeds are 36 km/ hour and 48 km/hour respectively. After 15 seconds the distance between them will be
-
- 400 m
- 150 m
- 300 m
- 250 m
Correct Option: D
Let O be the starting point. The car running at 36 kmph is moving along OB and that at 48 kmph moving along OA. Also let they reach at B and A respectively after 15 seconds.
| ∴ OA = 48 × | × 15 = 200 m | |
| 18 |
| ∴ and OB = 36 × | × 15 = 150 m | |
| 18 |
∴ Required distance = AB
= √(200)2 + (150)2
W (By Pythagoras theorem)
= √40000 + 22500
= √62500
= 250 m
