Run Race MCQ 2( In a 100 m race A can beat B by 25 m)
Run Race MCQ 2: In a 100 m race A can beat B by 25 m and B can beat C by 4 m. In the same race, A can beat C by________?
a) 21 m b) 26 m c) 28 m d) 29 m
Solution:
In a 100 m race, A can beat B by 25 m …..
Lets suppose that there is 100 meters run race in which A and B are participating.
So, by taking into consideration the statement of the question from given data we can say that in the race in which both A and B are taking part;
if A runs 100 m then B will be at 75 meters
Or ratio between running of A and B
i-e A:B=100:75
or
\[ \frac{A}{B}=\frac{100}{75}=\frac{4}{3} \] —-1
The same way ratio between B and C is expressible;
If B runs 100 meters then C will be at 96 meters
i-e
B:C=100:96
or
\[ \frac{B}{C}=\frac{100}{96}=\frac{25}{24} \] —–2
We have to find at what ration A beats C! or we have to find A:C=?
We can write;
\[ \frac{A}{C}=\frac{A}{B}\times \frac{B}{C} \]
Putting values from eq 1 & 2 above;
we get;
\[ \frac{A}{C}=\frac{25}{24}\times \frac{4}{3}= \frac {100}{72} \]
i-e
A:C= 100:72
In other words, If A runs 100 m then C will be at 72 m
i-e A will beat C by 100-72=28 m
So, the option C is the answer!
