Vaidev and Tom started jogging from the same point. Tom started jogging 9 minutes earlier than Vaidev. Vaidev's jogging speed was 250 m/min and Tom's jogging speed was 100 m/min. They went in the same direction and did not change their speeds throughout.

1. How long did it take for Vaidev to catch up with Tom? 
2. What distance would Tom have jogged when Vaidev caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Vaidev	Tom
Speed	250 m/min	100 m/min
Start time		9 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		900 m

(a)
Distance that Tom covered when he jogged 9 minutes earlier
= 9 x 100
= 900 m

Distance that Vaidev covered more than Tom per min
= 250 - 100
= 150 m

Time that Vaidev needed to take to cover the additional 900 m
= 900 ÷ 150
= 6 min

(b)
Time that Tom would had jogged when Vaidev caught up with him
= 6 + 9
= 15 min

Distance that Tom would have jogged when Vaidev caught up with him
= 15 x 100
= 1500 m

Answer(s): (a) 6 min; (b) 1500 m
