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

5 u = 245
1 u = 245 ÷ 5 = 49
Time taken by Vaidev
= 3 u
= 3 x 49
= 147 min
1 h = 60 min
Time taken by Tim
= 2
45x 60
= 168 min
Difference in time
= 168 - 147
= 21 min
21 min before 03 35 = 03 14
Time that Vaidev crossed the finishing line = 03 14
Answer(s): 03 14
