Answer : B
Explanation
Distance covered by B in 3 sec. =(100/30*3) m = 10m ∴ A beats B by 10m.
Q 2 - A can run 20 m while B runs 25 m. In a km race, B beats A by:
Answer : B
Explanation
In a 25m race, B beats A by 5 m. In a km race , B beats A by (5/25*1000) m = 200m
Q 3 - In a 100m race, A can beat B by 25m and B can beat C by 4m. In the same race, A can beat C by
Answer : D
Explanation
A :B = 100:75 and B :C = 100:96 ∴ A :C = (A/B * B/C ) = (100/75*100/96 ) = 100/72 = 100:72 So, A beats C by (100-72) m = 28m
Q 4 - In a 500 m race, the ratio of the speeds of A and B is 3:4. A has a start of 140m. A wins by:
Answer : B
Explanation
.To reach the winning post A has to cover (500-140)m = 360m While A covers 3 m , B covers 4 m. While A covers 360m , B covers (4/3*360)m = 480m ∴ A wins by 20 m.
Q 5 - In a 100m race, A beats B by 10m and C by 13m. In a race of 180m, B will beat C by :
Answer : C
Explanation
A: B :C = 100: 90:87 ∴ B/C = 90/87 = 90*2/87*2 = 180/174 Thus, while B covers 180m , C covers 174 m. ∴ B beats C by 6m.
Q 6 - A and B take part in a 100m race. A runs at 5km/hr. A gives B a start of 8m and still beats him by 8 sec. B?s speed is:
Answer : D
Explanation
A's speed =(5*5/18) m/s = 25/18m/s. Time taken by A to cover 100m = (100* 18/25) sec. =72 sec. ∴ B covers 92 m in (72+8) sec.= 80 sec. ∴ B's speed = (92/80)m/sec. = (92/80* 18/5) km/hr = 4.14km/hr
Q 7 - In a game of 100 points , A can give B 20 points and C 28 points. Then, B can give C:
Answer : B
Explanation
A:B:C = 100:80:72 ∴ B:C = 80/72 =10/9 =100/90 If B scores 100, then C scores 90. Hence, B can give C 10 points.
