39. A thief sees a jeep at a distance of 250 m, coming towards him at 36 km/h. Thief takes 5
seconds to realize that there is nothing but the police is approaching him by the jeep and
start running away from police at 54 km/h. But police realise after 10 second, when the
thief starts running away, that he is actually a thief and gives chase at 72 km/h. How
long after thief saw police did catchup with him and what is the distance police had
travel to do so?
A. 50 s, 1000m B. 65 s, 1150m C. 65 s, 1300m D. 45 s, 1050m
5 5 5
Solution: Speeds to m/s 36 × = 10m/s, 54 × =15 m/s & 72 × =20 m/s
18 18 18
In 5 seconds the police covers :10 × 5 = 50m, Remaining distance = 250 - 50 = 200m
Next 10sec both covers at relative speed (15-10) = 5m/s = 510 = 50m (‡Pvi 54 -cywjk 36 wKwg)
So, last distance when police started to run at 72km/hr = 200+50 = 250m
This is the relative distance between the thief and the police at the time the police begin
moving at 72km / h The relative speed is 20 - 15 = 5m/s
250
Now, the time required by police to catch the thief = = 50 s

Total time = 50+15 = 65 s and Total distance =[(5020) + (105) + (1010)]= 1150 m
