Question

In a 200m race A beats B by 40m and C by 50m, while C beats B by 2sec. Find the individual speeds of A,B and C respectively?​

Answer 1

Answer:

it may be B beats C by 2sec..

Step-by-step explanation:

while A goes 200 m B goes 200-40=160 m and C goes 200-50=150 m..

so B goes 10 m more than C in same time and C takes 2 sec more to cover the gap of 10m..so speed of c is 5m/s..so he goes 150 m is 150/5=30 sec..so the race was 30 sec long..speed of A is 200/30=20/3 m/s and B is 160/30 =16/3 m/sec
