Download Solution PDFGiven:
Thief speed = 80 km/h, Owner speed = 90 km/h, Time difference = 0.5 hours
Formula used:
Time = Distance/Speed
Calculations:
Distance covered by thief in 0.5 hours = 80 × 0.5 = 40 km
Relative speed of owner to thief = 90 - 80 = 10 km/h
Time to catch = 40/10 = 4 hours
Therefore, the owner will catch the thief at 8:00 p.m.
