Answer» Answer: n a race of 1200m, A can beat B by 120m => When A runs 1200 m, B runs (1200-120)= 1080 m ---(1) In race of 500m, B can beat C by 100m => When B runs 500 m, B runs (500-100)= 400 m ---(2) Now we NEED to FIND out the distance C run when A run 800 m From (1), when A runs 800 m, distance covered by B = 1080 × 800 1200 = 720 m From (2), when B runs 720 m, distance covered by C = 400 × 720 500 = 576 m i.e., When A runs 800 m, C runs 576 m Therefore, in 800 m race, A beat C by (800-576)=224 m your QUESTION is similar to this answer.. just check it out |
