The table shows the time taken by some men to complete the night marathon. Vaidev completed the race in

2 u = 256
1 u = 256 ÷ 2 = 128
Time taken by Vaidev
= 1 u
= 1 x 128
= 128 min
1 h = 60 min
Time taken by Caden
= 2
25x 60
= 144 min
Difference in time
= 144 - 128
= 16 min
16 min before 02 45 = 02 29
Time that Vaidev crossed the finishing line = 02 29
Answer(s): 02 29
