C A C 100 87 29
When B runs 30 m, C runs 29 m.
When B runs 180 m, C runs 29 x 180 m = 174 m.
30
B beats C by (180 – 174) m = 6 m.

Question : 4 In a 500 m race, the ratio of the speeds of two contestants A and B is 3 : 4. A has a start of 140 m. Then, A wins by:
A. 60 m
B. 40 m
C. 20 m
D. 10 m
[expand title=”Show Answer” swaptitle=”Hide”]
Correct Answer : C
Explanation :
To reach the winning post A will have to cover a distance of (500 – 140)m, i.e., 360 m.
While A covers 3 m, B covers 4 m.
While A covers 360 m, B covers 4/3 x 360 m = 480 m.
Thus, when A reaches the winning post, B covers 480 m and therefore remains 20 m behind.
A wins by 20 m.
