Answer:
Let’s assume that the time and spacing of runners for a km are the double of those for a half-kilometer race.
A is faster than B by 20m on a kilometer => a is faster than B by 10m on half a kilometer
C beats A by 50 m on half a kilometer, and would beat B of another 10 meters.
Therefore, C should give B a start of 60 meters.
