Ans: B

To reach the wining post A has to cover = (500 – 140) m = 360 m.

While A covers 3 m, B covers 4 m.

While A covers 360 m, B covers $$({4}/{3}× 360)$$ m = 480 m.

Thus, when A reaches the winning post, B covers 480 m.

∴ A wins by (500 – 480) m = 20 m.

Ans: B

A : B = 100 : 80 and A : C = 100 : 72.

∴ $${B}/{C}$$ = $$({B}/{A} × {A}/{C})$$ = $$(80/100 × 100/72)$$

= $${10}/{9} × {10}/{10}$$ = $${100}/{90}$$ = 100 : 90.

∴ B can give C 10 points.

Ans: C

A : B : C = 1000 : (1000 – 50) : (1000 – 69) = 1000 : 950 : 931.

In a 950 m race, B can give C a start of (950 – 931) m = 19 m.

In a 1000m race, B can give C a start of $$({19}/{950} × 1000)$$m = 20 m.

Ans: B

Distance covered by B in 25 sec. = 200 m.

Distance covered by B in 22 sec. = $$({200} / {25} × 22)$$m = 176 m.

∴ B was at a distance of (200 – 176) m = 24 m from the finishing line.

Ans: B

A : B = 1000 : 960 and A : C = 1000 : 936

∴ $${B}/{C}$$ = $$({B}/{A} × {A}/{C})$$ = $$(960/1000 × 1000/936)$$

= $${1000}/{975}$$ ⇒ B : C = 1000 : 975.

∴ B can give C 25 m.
