a tiger is chasing its prey at a constant speed . it entire body passes a blade of grass in 1 second . it then runs above a fallen tree trunk that is 20 meters long in 5 seconds . what is the length of the tiger ?
sol . let the length of the tiger be x metres and its speed be y m / sec . then , x / y = 1 ⇒ y = x ∴ ( x + 20 ) / 5 = x ⇔ x = 5 m . answer b
divide(20, subtract(5, 1))
