Q:

A runs 123 times as fast as B. If A gives B a start of 80 m, how far must the winning post be so that A and B might reach it at the same time?

A) 200 m B) 300m
C) 270m D) 160m
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 200 m

Explanation:

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.
