After turning point let the culprit travelled a distance of x meter in 10 seconds.
therefore,
x = 72000/3600 * 10 = 200 meter.
and the jeep distance,
y  = 90000/3600 * 10 = 250 meter.
in order to catch the culprit,
the distnace the jeep would cover =>
let (z+ 200) = 25*t.............(1)
for culprit,
z = 20*t............................(2)
solve the eqns. and get z value.
