  1. In a race of 1000 m, A can beat B by 100m. In a race of 400 m, B beats C by 40m. In a race of 500m. A will beat C by
    1. 95 m
    2. 50 m
    3. 45 m
    4. 60 m
Correct Option: A

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 metres
