  3.    210 sec
  4.    150 sec
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 190 sec


Time taken by B run 1000 meters = (1000 * 10)/50 = 200 sec.
Time taken by A = 200 - 10 = 190 sec.


Question 143. In a game of billiards, A can give B 20 points in 60 and he can give C 30 points in 60. How many points can B give C in a game of 100?
  1.    50

  3.    25
  4.    15
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 25


A scores 60 while B score 40 and C scores 30.
The number of points that C scores when B scores 100 = (100 * 30)/40 = 25 * 3 = 75.
In a game of 100 points, B gives (100 - 75) = 25 points to C.


Question 144. A can give B 100 meters start and C 200 meters start in a kilometer race. How much start can B give C in a kilometer race?
  1.    111.12 m
  2.    888.88 m
  3.    777.52 m
  4.    756.34 m
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 111.12 m


A runs 1000 m while B runs 900 m and C runs 800 m.
The number of meters that C runs when B runs 1000 m,
= (1000 * 800)/900 = 8000/9 = 888.88 m.
B can give C = 1000 - 888.88 = 111.12 m.


Question 145. 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?
  1.    57.5 m
  2.    127.5 m
  3.    150.7 m
  4.    98.6 m
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 127.5 m


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.


Question 146. A can run a kilometer race in 4 1/2 min while B can run same race in 5 min. How many meters start can A give B in a kilometer race, so that the race mat end in a dead heat?

 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 100 m


A can give B (5 min - 4 1/2 min) = 30 sec start.
The distance covered by B in 5 min = 1000 m.
Distance covered in 30 sec = (1000 * 30)/300 = 100 m.
A can give B 100m start.
