Shaktiman saw a criminal at a distance of 10 meter.
When Shaktiman started chasing him, the criminal also started running.
If the ratio of speeds of Shaktiman to criminal is 12 : 9.
Then how much distance did Shaktiman run to catch the criminal?
The ratio of speeds of Shaktiman to the criminal is 12:9, which can be simplified to 4:3.
Let’s assume that Shaktiman covers a distance of x meters to catch the criminal.
In the same time, the criminal would have covered a distance of (3/4)x meters.
As per the problem statement, the initial distance between Shaktiman and the criminal was 10 meters.
To catch the criminal, Shaktiman needs to cover a total distance of 10 meters + (3/4)x meters.
Therefore, we can write the equation:
10 + (3/4)x = x
Simplifying the above equation, we get:
(1/4)x = 10
x = 40 meters
Hence, Shaktiman ran 40 meters to catch the criminal.
