Solution

The speed of the cricket ball = 120 km/h

= `(120 xx 1000)/60` m/min   ...[∵ 1 km = 1000 m and 1 h = 60 min]

= 2 × 1000

= 2000 m/min

Now, speed in m/s = `2000/60`  ...[∵ 1 min = 60 s]

= `200/6`

= `100/3` m/s

So, 20 m can be cover in `20/(100/3)`   ...`[∵ "Time" = "Distance"/"Speed"]`

= `60/100`

= 0.6 s
