Q:

A can give B 100 meters start and C 200 meters start in a kilometer race. How much start can B give C in a kilometer race?

A) 110.12 meters B) 111.12 meters
C) 112.12 meters D) 113.12 meters
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 111.12 meters

Explanation:

A runs 1000 meters while B runs 900 meters and C runs 800 meters.

Therefore, B runs 900 meters while C runs 800 meters.

So, the number of meters that C runs when B runs 1000 meters = (1000 x 800)/900 = 8000/9 = 888.88 meters

Thus, B can give C (1000 - 888.88) = 111.12 meters start
