Question
In a 100 m race, A beats B by 10 m and C by 13 m. In a race of 180 m, B will beat C by:5.4 m4.5 m5 m6 mNone
Solution
In a 100 m race, A beats B by 10 m, which means when A runs 100 m, B runs 90 m. Similarly, when A beats C by 13 m, it means when A runs 100 m, C runs 87 m.
Now, we need to find out by how much B will beat C in a 180 m race.
First, let's find out how much B and C will run when A runs 180 m.
If A runs 180 m, B will run = (90/100)*180 = 162 m And, C will run = (87/100)*180 = 156.6 m
So, in a 180 m race, B will beat C by 162 m - 156.6 m = 5.4 m.
So, the answer is 5.4 m.
