ram and shyam start a two - length swimming race at the same moment but from opposite ends of the pool . they swim in lanes at uniform speeds , but hardy is faster than andy . they 1 st pass at a point 18.5 m from the deep end and having completed one length each 1 is allowed to rest on the edge for exactly 45 sec . after setting off on the return length , the swimmers pass for the 2 nd time just 10.5 m from the shallow end . how long is the pool ?
