Question 31.

In a 300 m race A beats B by 22.5 m or 6 seconds. Bs time over the course is:

  1.    86 sec
  2.    80 sec
  3.    76 sec
  4.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 80 sec

B runs   m in 6 sec \(\frac{2}{45}\)


So, B covers 300 m in \(\left(6\times\frac{2}{45}\times300\right)sec=80sec.\)

Question 32.

A runs 1 \(\frac{2}{3}\)  times as fast as B. If A gives B a start of 80 m, how far must the winning post be so that A and B might reach it at the same time?

  1.    200 m
  2.    300 m
  3.    270 m
  4.    160 m
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 200 m

Ratio of the speeds of A and B = \(\frac{5}{3}\) : 1 = 5 : 3.


Thus, in race of 5 m, A gains 2 m over B.


2 m are gained by A in a race of 5 m.


80 m will be gained by A in race of \(\left(\frac{5}{2}\times80\right)m=200m.\)


So, Winning post is 200 m away from the starting point.

Question 33.

In a 100 m race, A can beat B by 25 m and B can beat C by 4 m. In the same race, A can beat C by:

  1.    21 m
  2.    26 m
  3.    28 m
  4.    29 m
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 28 m

A : B = 100 : 75


B : C = 100 : 96.


S0, A : C = \(\left(\frac{A}{B}\times\frac{B}{C}\right)=\left(\frac{100}{75}\times\frac{100}{96}\right)= \frac{100}{72}=100:72.\)


So, A beats C by (100 - 72) m = 28 m.

Question 34. In a 100 m race, A can give B 10 m and C 28 m. In the same race B can give C:
  1.    18 m
  2.    20 m
  3.    27 m
  4.    9 m
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 20 m

  2.    4.14 kmph
  3.    4.25 kmph
  4.    4.4 kmph
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 4.14 kmph
Question 36. In a 500 m race, the ratio of the speeds of two contestants A and B is 3 : 4. A has a start of 140 m. Then, A wins by:
  1.    60 m
  2.    40 m
  3.    20 m
  4.    10 m
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 20 m
Question 37. In a 100 m race, A beats B by 10 m and C by 13 m. In a race of 180 m, B will beat C by:
