According to the question,
When A covers 1000m, B covers = 1000 – 40 = 960 m
and C covers =1000 – 70 = 930 m
When B covers 960m, C covers 930 m.
∴ When B covers 1000m, C covers= 930 × 1000 = 968.75 metre 960
Hence, B gives C a start of
= 1000 – 968.75 = 31.25 metreCorrect Option: B

According to the question,
∵ When B runs 200 m metres, A runs 190 metres
∴ When B runs 180 metres, A runs= 190 × 180 = 171 metres 200
When C runs 200m, B runs 180 metres.
Hence, C will give a start to A by
= 200 – 171 = 29 metresCorrect Option: C

According to the question,
∴ When A runs 800 metres, B runs 760 metres
∴ When A runs 200 metres, B runs= 760 × 200 = 190 metres 800
Again, when B runs 500 metres, C runs 495 metres.
∴ When B runs 190 metres, C runs= 495 × 190 = 188.1 metres 500
∴ Hence, A will beat C by

When A runs 1000m, B runs 900m.
∴ When A runs 500m, B runs 450 m.
Again, when B runs 400m, C runs 360 m.
∴ When B runs 450m, C runs= 360 × 450 = 405 metres 400
Required distance = 500 – 405
= 95 metresCorrect Option: A
