Question 81.
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:
  1.    5.4 m
  2.    5 m
  3.    4.5 m
  4.    6 m
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 6 m

Answer : Option D

Explanation :

While A runs 100 m, B runs (100-10)=90 m and C runs (100-13)=87 m
i.e., when B runs 90 m, C runs 87 m
$MF#%\text{=> when B runs 180 m, C runs }\dfrac{87}{90} \times 180 \text{= 174 m}$MF#%
Hence, in a 180 m race, B will beat C by (180-174)=6 m


Question 82.
In a km race, A beats B by 28 metres or 7 seconds. Find A's time over the course.



  1.    3 min 4 sec
  2.    4 min 3 sec
  3.    4 min 5 sec
  4.    5 min 4 sec
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 4 min 3 sec

Clearly, B covers 28 m in 7 seconds.
B's time over the course = (7/28 x 1000) sec = 250 seconds.
A's time over the course = (250 - 7) sec
= 243 sec = 4 min. 3 sec.



Question 83.
A, B and C are three contestants in a km race. If A can give B a start
of 40 m and A can give C a start of 64 m, how many meter’s start
can B give C?



  1.    25
  2.    33
  3.    48
  4.    57
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 25

While A covers 1000 m, B covers (1000 - 40) m = 960 m
And C Covers (1000 - 64) m or 936 m
When B covers 960 m, C covers 936 m
When B cover 1000 m, C cover (936/960 x 1000) m =975
binduB can give C a start of (1000-975) or 25 m



Question 84.
In 100 m race, A covers the distance in 36 seconds and B in 45 seconds. In this race A beats B by:
  1.    9 m
  2.    25 m
  3.    22.5 m
  4.    20 m
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 20 m

Answer : Option D

Explanation :

In 100 m race, A covers the distance in 36 seconds and B in 45 seconds.
Clearly, A beats B by (45-36)=9 seconds
$MF#%\text{Speed of B = }\dfrac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} = \dfrac{100}{45}\text{ m/s}\\\\ \text{Distance Covered by B in 9 seconds = Speed × Time = }\dfrac{100}{45} \times 9\text{ = 20 metre}$MF#%
i.e., A beats B by 20 metre


Question 85.

A and B take part in 100 m race. A runs at 5 kmph. A gives B a start of 8 m and still beats him by 8 seconds. The speed of B is:


  1.    5.15 kmph
  2.    4.14 kmph
  3.    4.25 kmph
  4.    4.4 kmph

 A And B Take Part In 100 M Race. A Runs At 5 Kmph. A Gives ... Time taken by B to cover 92 m = (72 + 8) = 80 sec.

 A And B Take Part In 100 M Race. A Runs At 5 Kmph. A Gives ... B's speed =  A And B Take Part In 100 M Race. A Runs At 5 Kmph. A Gives ... 92 x 18  A And B Take Part In 100 M Race. A Runs At 5 Kmph. A Gives ...kmph = 4.14 kmph. 80 5


Question 86.
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.    28 m
  3.    26 m
  4.    29 m
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 28 m

Answer : Option B

Explanation :

When A covers 100 m, B covers (100-25)=75 m
When B covers 100 m, C covers (100-4)=96 m
$MF#%\text{=> When B covers 75 metre, C covers }\dfrac{96}{100}\times 75 = 72\text{ m}$MF#%
i.e., When A covers 100 m, B covers 75 m and C covers 72 m
=> In a 100 m race, A beat C by (100-72)=28 m
