Question

If in a 1 km race, A defeats B by 200 m, and in a 500 m race, B defeats C by 200 m, then by how many metres would A defeat C in a 200 m race, assuming that A, B, and C perform exactly the same in all the races?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

11.11m

Step-by-step explanation:

When A runs 200 m

S runs 180 m

N runs 160 m

When S run 100 m, N will run=100×

180

160

=88.89

i.e S will beat N by (100−88.89)=11.11 m

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

IN 500m race b defeats c by 200m which means when b is at 500m c will be at 300 m

As per first statement when A is at 1000m B will be at 800m

so when B is at 800m C will be at 480m[300/500*800]

so when A is at 200m C will be at 96m[480/1000*200]

hence A defeats C by 104m[200-96]
