Circular track with perimeter - 300 meters.Two joggers A and B start from the same point and run at ratio 5 :10 meter/min respectively. at what point they will meet for first time.
At starting point? (If they jog in same direction)
At 100 mtrs from starting point (If they jog in opposite directions )..

First time pucha hai na?? Please check that post again and confirm
When a producer allows 36% commission on the retail price of his product, he earns a profit of 8.8%.what would be his profit percent if the commission rate is changed to 12%

for the same direction dash:
the relative speed is 5m/min..hence they will meet after 300/5= 60 mins.
that is after 600 m or at starting point...

for the opposite direction dash:
the relative speed is 15 m/min...hence they will meet after 300/15= 20 mins.
that is after A has run 100 m and B has run 200 m from the starting point..

I guess it means if u sell a product at 100 Rs. Retail price with 30% commision. It means U get 70Rs. for that product and 30Rs goes to brocker... Correct me if m wrong anyone...
