Correct Answer: 40 metres
Solution : Speed of P = $\frac{1 \;km}{120\;sec}$ = $\frac{1000}{120}$ m/s = 8.33 m/s Speed of Q = $\frac{1 \;km}{125 \;sec}$ = $\frac{1000}{125}$ m/s = 8 m/s Distance covered by Q in 120 seconds = 8 × 120 = 960 P beat Q by (1000 – 960) = 40 metres Hence, the correct answer is 40 metres.
