Initial distance: 380 m
Speed of thief and policeman: 25 m/s and 30 m/s respectively
Concept:
Relative speed and time calculation (Time = Distance/Speed).
Calculation:
Relative speed = speed of policeman - speed of thief
30 m/s - 25 m/s = 5 m/s
Time = distance/relative speed
380/5 = 76 sec
Hence, the policeman will catch the thief in 76 seconds.
