Question
In a race of 1000 m, A can beat by 100 m, in a race of 800m, B can beat C by 100m. By how many meters will A beat C in a race of 600 m?
Answer: Option B
WHEN A RUNS 1000 M, B RUNS 900 M AND WHEN B RUNS 800 M, C RUNS 700 M.
WHEN B RUNS 900 M, DISTANCE THAT C RUNS = (900 * 700)/800 = 6300/8 = 787.5 M.
IN A RACE OF 1000 M, A BEATS C BY (1000 – 787.5) = 212.5 M TO C.
IN A RACE OF 600 M, THE NUMBER OF METERS BY WHICH A BEATS C = (600 * 212.5)/1000 = 127.5 M.
