3. A dog at point A goes in pursuit of a fox 30 m away. The dog makes 2m and the fox, 1m long leaps. If the dog
makes two leaps to the fox's three, at what distance from A will the dog catch up with the fox ?
Correct
D
Answer
Two of the dog's leaps cover 4 m ; three of the fox leaps cover 3 m, i.e. each time the dog runs 4
Explanation metres, the distance between them is reduced by . The initial distance between
them is 30 times greater. Hence the dog will catch up the fox when it covers
