In a race of 1000m, A can beat B by 100m. In a 400m, B beats C by 40m. In a race of 500m. A will beat C by
57.5 m
95 m
150.7 m
98.6 m
Explanation:
When A runs 1000m, B runs 900m.
Hence, when A runs 500m, B runs 450m.
Again, when B runs 400m, C runs 360m.
And, when B runs 450m, C runs = 360 × 450/400 = 405m.
Required distance = 500 - 405 = 95 meter.
