Given data:

Speed of Ramesh = 26 km/h, Speed of Naresh = 18 km/h, time = 1 hour 45 minutes = 1.75 hours

Concept:

Distance covered is the product of speed and time.

Solution:

Total distance covered = (Speed of Ramesh + Speed of Naresh) × Time

⇒ (26 km/h + 18 km/h) × 1.75 hours = 77 km = 77,000 m

Therefore, they were 77,000 m apart when they started running.
