420m


If x- Shaktiman's speed and y- criminal's speed, t- time to run, we have
1) x/y=12/11,
2) xt-yt=35
3) xt =?
from 1) x=y*12/11
considering this in 2) xt-yt=35-> yt*12/11-yt=35->yt*1/11=35->yt=385
as xt=yt+35,
xt=385+35=420m
xt=420m

35m*12m = 420 m
For each 12m of S run, the distance between S and T will reduce to 1m.
so to reduce to this 35m distance, s should run 12m for 35 times
