Question : A thief is noticed by a policeman from a distance of 150 m. The thief starts running and the policeman chases him. The thief and the policeman run at the rate of 8 km/hr and 10 km/hr respectively. At what distance will the policeman catch the thief?
Option 1: 1000 metres
Option 2: 850 metres
Option 3: 500 metres
Option 4: 750 metres
Correct Answer: 750 metres
Solution : The relative speed of policeman to the thief = (10 – 8) = 2 km/hr = $\frac{2×5}{18}$ = $\frac{5}{9}$ m/s The time taken by the police to catch the thief = $150\div\frac{5}{9}$ = 270 seconds Now, the speed of the policeman = 10 km/hr
Question : Pawan purchased a shirt whose marked price is Rs. 2200. The offer discount on the shirt is 8%. How much amount Pawan need to pay?

Option 1: 60 percent
Option 2: 50 percent
Option 3: 66.66 percent
Option 4: 52.5 percent
