The race must be up to 29 meters for Dhvan to win.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since Shaan walks 2.5 meters per second, while his brother Dhvan walks 1 meter per second, and Dhvan wants to have a race, and Shaan knows that he walks faster, but he wants to give his brother a head start of 45 meters, so it doesn't seem that he is allowing him to win, to determine how many meters long should the race be in order for Dhvan to win the following calculation must be performed:
45 / (2.5 - 1) = X
45 / 1.5 = X
30 = X
Therefore, the race must be up to 29 meters for Dhvan to win.
Answer: Ask the king to draw first and read it. Explain that if the king selects "leave" the PM's choice could only be "stay". It is then unnecessary for the PM to draw. It avoids embarrassing the king in his lie, demonstrates the PM's intelligence, and keeps his job.
