Q:

In a race of 200 m, A can beat B by 31 m and C by 18 m. In a race of 350 m, C will beat B by:

A) 22.75 m B) 25 m
C) 19.5 m D) 18.5 m
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 25 m

Explanation:

A : B = 200 : 169.

 

 

 

A : C = 200 : 182.

 

 

 

C/B = (C/A*A/B) = (182/200*200/169) = 182:169

 

 

 

When C covers 182 m, B covers 169 m.

 

 

 

When C covers 350 m, B covers (169/180*350)m  = 325 m

 

 

 

Therefore, C beats B by (350 - 325) m = 25 m.
