Q:

In a 500 m race, the ratio of the speeds of two contestants A and B is 3 : 4. A has a start of 140 m. Then, A wins by:

A) 60m B) 40m
C) 20m D) 10m
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 20m

Explanation:

To reach the winning post A will have to cover a distance of (500 - 140)m, i.e., 360 m.

 

While A covers 3 m, B covers 4 m.

 

While A covers 360 m, B covers (4/3)*360 = 480 m.

 

Thus, when A reaches the winning post, B covers 480 m and therefore remains 20 m behind.

 

 A wins by 20 m.
