There are twelve consecutive flags at an equal interval of distance. A man passes the 8th flag in 8 seconds. How many more seconds will he take to pass the remaining 4 flags?
since in croosing 8 flags he travelled 7 distances(gaps) in 8 secs, <br> <br> So to travel 1 gap time required : 8 / 7<br> <br> gaps left = 11 - 7 =4<br> <br> so time required : 4 * 8 / 7 <br>
