Question

In a 1000 m race, neeta beats geeta by 50 m & seeta by 100 m. By what distance will geeta beat seeta ?

Answer 1

Answer:

N-G=50.......(l)

N-S=100..... (2)

(i)-(2) - G+S=-50

G-S=50

Geeta beats seetha by 50 meters

in a thousand meter race

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance covered by Neeta : Geeta in winning time by Neeta is = 1000 : 950 = 20:19.

Since time taken is same, ratio of their speed is also 20:19

Distance covered by Neeta : Seeta in winning time by Neeta is = 1000 : 900 = 20:18.

Since time taken is same, ratio of their speed is also 20:18

Hence Ratio of speeds of Geeta to Seeta would be 19:18.

Distance covered by Seeta when Geeta covers 1000 m = 1000 * 18/19 = 947.36

So Geeta beats Seeta by 1000 - 947.36 = 52.64 m.

Hence answer option 3.
