Question

In a 500m race, B gives A a start of 160m. The ratio of the speeds of A and B are 2:3. By what (meters) B beats A?​

Answer 1

Answer:

10m

Step-by-step explanation:

To reach the winning post A will have to cover a distance of (500-160) = 340m

while A covers 2m/s and B covers 3m/s

while A covers 340m, B covers = 3×340/2 = 510m

B-A (510m - 500m) = 10m
