In a 1 km race, A beats B by 28 meters in 7sec. Find A's time over the course?

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

When B runs 900 m, distance that C runs = (900 x 700)/800 = 6300/8 = 787.5 m.

In a race of 1000 m, A beats C by (1000 - 787.5) = 212.5 m to C.

In a race of 600 m, the number of meters by which A beats C

= (600 x 212.5)/1000 = 127.5 m.

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 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

A : B = 100 : 75

B : C = 100 : 96.

A : C = (A/B*B/C) = (100/75*100/96) = 100/72  =100:72     

   A beats C by (100 - 72) m = 28 m.

Ratio of the speeds of A and B =5 : 1 = 5 :3

Thus, in race of 5 m, A gains 2 m over B.

2 m are gained by A in a race of 5 m.

80 m will be gained by A in race of 52*80 m =200m

=> Winning post is 200 m away from the starting point.

When B runs 25 m, A runs 45/2 m

When B runs 1000 m, A runs (45/2*1/25*1000)m = 900 m.

B beats A by 100 m.

B runs 35 m in 7 sec.

 B covers 200 m in (7/35*200) = 40 sec.

B's time over the course = 40 sec.

 A's time over the course (40 - 7) sec = 33 sec.

A : B = 100 : 80.

A : C = 100 : 72.

B:C = B/A*A/C = 80/10*100/72 = 10/9 = 100/90 = 100:90

 B can give C 10 points
