Detailed Solution

The distance covered by Manju between 2nd and 4th minute by subtracting them.
Distance covered between 2nd and 4th minute is 68−30 = 38m
The distance covered by Pankaj between 2nd and 4th minute by subtracting them.
Distance covered between 2nd and 4th minute is 70−40 = 30m
The distance covered by Ranjeet between 2nd and 4th minute by subtracting them.
Distance covered between 2nd and 4th minute is 69−45 = 24m
Thus, the distance covered by Manju between 2nd and 4th minute is more than Pankaj and Ranjeet.
Therefore, Manju has run the fastest in between the 2nd and 4th minute.
