Question

In a 500 meteres race, B starts 45 M ahead
of A but A wins
the race while B is still 35M
behind what is the ratio of the speeds of A to
B assuming that both start at the same time?
(a)25:21
(b) 25:20
(c) 5:3
(d) 5:7​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hence, C will give a start of (200 m−171 m)=29 m to A in the same race.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of the distances covered by A and B =190:200=1710:1800

Ratio of the distances covered by B and C =180:200=1800:2000

Ratio of the distances covered by A and C =1710:2000=171:200    

Hence, C will give a start of (200 m−171 m)=29 m to A in the same race.
