Q:

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:

A) 5.4m B) 4.5m
C) 5m D) 6m
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 6m

Explanation:

A : B = 100 : 90.

 

A : C = 100 : 87.

 

B/C = (B/A*A/C) = (90/100*100/87) = 30/29

 

When B runs 30 m, C runs 29 m.

 

When B runs 180 m, C runs (29/30*180)m =174m

 

 B beats C by (180 - 174) m = 6 m.
