In a 1500 m race, Anil beats Bakul by 150 m and in the same race Bakul beats Charles by 75 m, By what distance does Anil beat Charles?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
In a 1500 m race, Anil beats Bakul by 150 m
i.e when Anil completes the race = 1500m
Bakul covered (1500 - 150) = 1350 m
In a 1500 m race Charles is 75 m behind Bakul
So, in 1350 m race Charles = \(\frac{75}{1500}\) × 1350
= 67.5 m behind Bakul
So, Charles is (67.5 + 150) = 217.5 m behind from Anil in 1500 m race
Hence , Anil beat Charlie by 217.5m.
