Answer 2

Given,

The total distance of the race = 1 kilometre

Surjeet beats Raheem by 40 metres or 8 seconds.

To find,

The total time taken by Surjeet to finish the race.

Solution,

Surjeet beats Raheem by 40 metres or 8 seconds. Which means, Raheem can cover 40 metres of distance in 8 seconds. By this mathematical relationship, we can derive the total time taken by Surjeet to complete the race.

Total distance of the race = 1 kilometre = 1000 metres

Raheem can run,

40 metres in = 8 seconds

1 metre in = 8/40 seconds

1000 metres in = 8×1000/40 = 200 seconds

Sujeet will take = 200-8 = 192

Hence, Surjeet can complete the race in 192 seconds.
