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) 25 m B) 21 m
C) 22 m D) 19 m
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 25 m

Explanation:

A:B = 200 : 169
A:C = 200 : 182
 CB = CA×AB 

 

182200×200169

 

=> 182:169

 

When C covers 182 m , B Covers 169 m
When C covers 350 m , B Covers 169182×350
=> 325 m

 

 

 

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