Question

Three particles A, B and C move in a circle in anticlockwise direction with speeds 1 m/s, 2.5 m/s and 2 m/s respectively. The initial positions of A, B and C are as shown in figure. The ratio of distance travelled by B and C by the instant A, B and C meet for the first time is

TestHub · Accepted Answer

By the time B and C meet, both have travelled for the same time t . Distances are proportional to speeds: d C ​ d B ​ ​ = v C ​ v B ​ ​ = 2 2.5 ​ = 4 5 ​ , i.e. 5 : 4.
