Question

In a running race Bhasha gives Asha a head start of

350 m and still beats her by 50 m. If Bhasha’s speed

is 1¼ times Asha’s speed, what is the length of the

race?

(1) 1 km (2) 2 km (3) 4 km (4) 1.5 km​

Answer 1

Answer:

2) 2km

Step-by-step explanation:

let ashas speed be 4x,then bhasha speed =5x

time taken for asha=time taken for bhasha

distance covered extra =400m

let time be t

4xt+400=5xt

xt=400m

length of race =5×xt=5×400m=2km
