Ram and Shakil run a race of 2000 meters. First, Ram gives Shakil a start of 200 meters and beats him by one minute. If , Ram gives Shakil a start of 6 minutes Ram is beaten by 1000 meters. Find the time in minutes in which Ram and Shakil can run the races separately.

Consider that r be velocity of ram and s be the velocity of Shakil, then, (2000/r)=(1800/s)-60 ...
