Q1.Ans-A covers 1000 mt with

Q1.Ans-A covers 1000 mt with the speed of 5m/s.
           Given pool is of 50mt so A covers the total distance in 20 laps.
           during the time he meets B for 17 times, i,e ones for initially at the start
           and then in rase in diffrent 16 laps.
           so for the same time B covers 16 laps i,e 16*50=800mt.
           therefore 1000/5=800/s(speed of B).
            therefore Speed of B=4m/s.
