A man running along a circular track has the speedof 10 km per hour. A source of light is at the centre of the circular track. A wall is along the tangent to the circular track at the point from which he starts.What is the speed of the shadow of the man on the wall when he covers `1/8th` of the track? (Assume thetrack to be a line.)
