Question:

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?

Options:

217.50 m

200.15 m

293.50 m

313.75 m

Correct Answer:

217.50 m

Explanation:

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.
