1.

in a 1500 m race A wins over by B 350m and in 1500m race C can give a startup of 250m to B. By how much distance A give start up to C ,so that A beats C by 50m?

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
