Question:

In a 100 m race, A beats B by 10 m and B beats C by 10 m. By what distance does A beat C (in m)?

Options:

19

18

20

21

Correct Answer:

19

Explanation:

According to the question,

A = B + 10,

B = C + 10,

Therefore     A   :   B   :   C

                  10  : 9

                        : 10  :  9

                 100  :  90 : 81

⇒ The distance by which A beat C = 100 - 81 = 19m.
