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:
Question 1:
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.22.75 m
B.25m
FeedbackA : B = 200 : 169. A : C = 200 : 182. C/A = (C/A x A/B) = (182/200 x 200/169) = 182 : 169. When C covers 182 m, B covers 169 m. When C covers 350 m, B covers (169/182 x 350) m = 325 m. Therefore, C beats B by (350 - 325) m = 25 m.
C.19.5m
D.18.5
