Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 140 m
$\text{Speed of Amit} : \frac{700}{20} = 35 \text{ m/s}.$
$\text{Speed of Rahul} : \frac{700}{25} = 28 \text{ m/s}.$
$\text{Distance covered by Rahul in 20 s} = 28 \times 20 = 560 \text{ m}.$
$\text{Distance by which Amit beats Rahul} = 700 - 560 = 140 \text{ m}.$
$\text{Amit beat Rahul by } 140 \text{ m}.$
