Answers
Answer:
Data is not sufficient here.
Step-by-step explanation:
Usha beats Shiny by 50 m means Usha reaches the finish line when Shiny is 50 m away from the finish line i.e. Usha covers 1000m in the time in which Shiny covers 950m.
We can say that the Ratio of their speeds,
Speed of Usha : Speed of Shiny = 1000:950 = 20:19
We don't know their actual speeds.
Usha's speed could be 20 m/s and Shiny's will be 19 m/s.
or
Usha's speed could be 40 m/s and Shiny's will be 38 m/s.
or
Usha's speed could be 10 m/s and Shiny's will be 9.5 m/s.
etc
We know Mercy's speed is 4 m/s.
We know Mercy takes 1000/4 = 250 s to complete the 1000m
But we don't know Shiny's speed.
We don't know how long Shiny takes to complete the 1000 m hence data is not sufficient here.
