Question 4 the day: September 09, 2003

The question for the day is from the topic of Races.
A can give B a start of 50 metres or 10 seconds in a kilometer race. How long does A take to complete the race?

(1) 200 seconds (2) 140 seconds
(3) 220 seconds (4) 190 seconds
Correct Answer - (4)

Solution:


A can give B a start of 50 metres or 10 seconds in a 1000 m race.

That is, B takes 10 seconds to run 50 metres.

Therefore, B will take (10/50) * 1000 = 200 seconds to run 1000 metres.

A who can give B a start of 10 seconds will take 10 seconds lesser to run the 1000m.

Hence, the time taken by A = 190 seconds.
