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
$\frac{C}{B} = \frac{C}{A} \times \frac{A}{B}$

$\frac{182}{200} \times \frac{200}{169}$

=> 182:169

When C covers 182 m , B Covers 169 m
When C covers 350 m , B Covers $\frac{169}{182} \times 350$
=> 325 m

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

A) 45	B) 55
C) 65	D) 75

x = 30% of z = 30z/100 = 3z/10

y = 40% of z = 40z/100 = 4z/10

According to the question,(x/y)*100 = p%

p% = 3z/100/4z/100×100= 75%
