be passed in approx. 4.56sec i.e.1.14*4

the man passes 8th flag in 8 sec... here the qtn has 8 TH,

Answer / sudhasravanthi
There are 0-11=12flags are there
starting from 0 and to pass 7th one it takes 8sec
for each flag it takes 8/7sec
now remaing are 4
stating from 8th flag it remains 3 flag to pass
so it takes 3*8/7sec=24/7=3.4285sec
it takes 3.4285sec to pass remaing flags
