Vaidev and Jenson started jogging from the same point. Jenson started jogging 8 minutes earlier than Vaidev. Vaidev's jogging speed was 300 m/min and Jenson'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 Jenson? 
2. What distance would Jenson have jogged when Vaidev caught up with him?  Express your answer in meters.

	Vaidev	Jenson
Speed	300 m/min	100 m/min
Start time		8 min earlier
Extra distance covered at first		800 m

(a)
Distance that Jenson covered when he jogged 8 minutes earlier
= 8 x 100
= 800 m

Distance that Vaidev covered more than Jenson per min
= 300 - 100
= 200 m

Time that Vaidev needed to take to cover the additional 800 m
= 800 ÷ 200
= 4 min

(b)
Time that Jenson would had jogged when Vaidev caught up with him
= 4 + 8
= 12 min

Distance that Jenson would have jogged when Vaidev caught up with him
= 12 x 100
= 1200 m

Answer(s): (a) 4 min; (b) 1200 m
