    In a game of 250 points, A scores 250 then B scores 200 points and C scores 180.

    Correct Option: D

    In a game of 250 points, A scores 250 then B scores 200 points and C scores 180.
    ∴ B scores 250 points while C scores 180 x 250 / 200 = 225 points
    Hence, in a game of 250 points B can give C (250 – 225) = 25 points

    In a game of 1000 meters, If A scores 1000 meters then B scores 950 meters and C scores 920 meters.

    ∴ B runs 1000 m while C scores 920 x 1000 / 950= 18400 / 19 m

    Correct Option: B

    In a game of 1000 meters, If A scores 1000 meters then B scores 950 meters and C scores 920 meters.
    ∴ B runs 1000 m while C scores 920 x 1000 / 950= 18400 / 19 m
    Hence, in 1000 m race, B can give C (1000 - 18400 / 19) = 600 / 19 = 311119 meters start.

    Raman covers 1 km in 8 min and suman cover 1 km in 10 min.
    If they starts together, then distance covered by suman in 8 min
    = (1000/10) x 8 = 800 m

    Correct Option: D

    Raman covers 1 km in 8 min
    and suman cover 1 km in 10 min.
    If they starts together, then distance covered by suman in 8 min
    = (1000/10) x 8 = 800 m
    ∴ Raman will beat suman by (1000 - 800 ) m = 200 m


  1. In a 1000 m race A beats B by 100 m and C by 200 m. By how much can B beats C in a race of 1350 m?

    If A run 1000 meters then B runs 900 meters and C runs 800 meters.
    ∴ B runs 1350 meters while C will run 800 * 1350/ 900 = 1200 meters

    Correct Option: D

    If A run 1000 meters then B runs 900 meters and C runs 800 meters.
    ∴ B runs 1350 meters while C will run 800 * 1350/ 900 = 1200 meters

    Hence, B can beat C by (1350 – 1200) = 150 m



  1. A can run 200 m in 35 seconds and B in 38 seconds. By what distance A beats B?









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    The distance covered by B in 35 seconds = 200 x 35 / 38 = 3500 / 19 m

    Correct Option: C

    The distance covered by B in 35 seconds = 200 x 35 / 38 = 3500 / 19 m
    Now, 200 – 3500 / 19 = 300 / 19 = 151519 m Hence, A can beat B by 151519 m.
