Dear Aditya please find the solution I am giving,Relative to the thief, the policeman is moving at a speed of 1 m/s, the thief forgetting the fact that, he himself is in motion.10-9=1So, all we have to do is to calculate, how much time it takes for a body, travelling in uniform velocity of 1m/s to cover 100m.And that is 100 seconds
