Q:

In a race of 1000 meters, A can beat B by 100 meters, in a race of 800 meters, B can beat C by 100 meters. By how many meters will A beat C in a race of 600 meters?

A) 125.5 meters B) 126.5 meters
C) 127.5 meters D) 128.5 meters
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 127.5 meters

Explanation:

When A runs 1000 meters, B runs 900 meters and when B runs 800 meters, C runs 700 meters.

Therefore, when B runs 900 meters, the distance that C runs = (900 x 700)/800 = 6300/8 = 787.5 meters.

So, in a race of 1000 meters, A beats C by (1000 - 787.5) = 212.5 meters to C.

So, in a race of 600 meters, the number of meters by Which A beats C = (600 x 212.5)/1000 = 127.5 meters.

A) Rs 23 B) Rs 25
C) Rs 24 D) Nonof these
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Rs 24

Cost Price of 5 kg = Rs.(14*2 + x*3) = (28 + 3x).

Sell price of 5 kg = Rs. (22x5) = Rs. 110.

[{110 - (28 + 3x)}/(28 + 3x) ]* 100 =10

[82-3x/28 + 3x]= 1 / 10

820 - 30x = 28 +3x 

33x = 792 

x = 24
