Distance between constable and thief = 200 m
Speed of constable = 8 km/h
Speed of thief = 6 km/h
Formula used:
Distance = relative speed × time
Calculation:
Distance = relative speed × time
⇒ 200 = (8 - 6) × (5/18) × time
⇒ 200 = 2 × (5/18) × time
⇒ Time = (200 × 18)/10
⇒ Time = 360 sec
Distance covered by thief = 6 × (5/18) × 360
⇒ 6 × 100 = 600 m
∴ The correct answer is 600 m.
