Practicing Success
In a race of 200m, B gives a start of 10m to A and C gives a start of 20m to B. The start, that C can give to A in the same race. |
9 m 19 m 20 m 29 m |
29 m |
1st condition: Ratio of distance covered ⇒ A : B = 190 : 200 = 19 : 20 2nd condition: Ratio of distance covered ⇒ B : C = 180 : 200 = 9 : 10 Now, A : B : C 19 : 20 09 : 10 171 : ---- : 200 Here we can see that, if C covers 200 m then A covers 171 m. Therefore, C gives ⇒ 200 - 171 = 29m start to A in the same race. |
