The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the reasoning and calculations outlined in the video transcript. ### Step 1: Understand the given information - Ajay's speed = 4 km/h - Distance of the race = 100 m - Brijesh gets a start of 4 m, so he runs 96 m. - Ajay beats Brijesh by 15 seconds. ### Step 2: Convert Ajay's speed from km/h to m/s To convert km/h to m/s, we use the conversion factor \( \frac{5}{18} \): \[ \text{Speed of Ajay in m/s} = 4 \times \frac{5}{18} = \frac{20}{18} = \frac{10}{9} \text{ m/s} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the time taken by Ajay to complete the race Using the formula \( \text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}} \): \[ \text{Time taken by Ajay} = \frac{100 \text{ m}}{\frac{10}{9} \text{ m/s}} = 100 \times \frac{9}{10} = 90 \text{ seconds} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the time taken by Brijesh Since Ajay beats Brijesh by 15 seconds, the time taken by Brijesh is: \[ \text{Time taken by Brijesh} = 90 \text{ seconds} + 15 \text{ seconds} = 105 \text{ seconds} \] ### Step 5: Calculate Brijesh's speed Brijesh runs 96 m in 105 seconds. To find his speed in m/s: \[ \text{Speed of Brijesh in m/s} = \frac{96 \text{ m}}{105 \text{ s}} = \frac{96}{105} \text{ m/s} \] ### Step 6: Convert Brijesh's speed to km/h To convert m/s to km/h, we multiply by \( \frac{18}{5} \): \[ \text{Speed of Brijesh in km/h} = \frac{96}{105} \times \frac{18}{5} \] Calculating this: \[ = \frac{96 \times 18}{105 \times 5} = \frac{1728}{525} \approx 3.29 \text{ km/h} \] ### Final Answer The speed of Brijesh is approximately **3.29 km/h**. ---
