Rahul can run 34.4 m in the given time as Amit runs 50 m. By how much distance Rahul is away from Amit at the winning point, in a two km race ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → 624 m
In the same time, the distances run are in the ratio of the speeds, 34.4 : 50. When Amit reaches the finish (2 km = 2000 m), Rahul has run
\( \displaystyle 2000 \times \frac{34.4}{50} = 40 \times 34.4 = 1376 \text{ m} \)
So Rahul is behind by
\(2000 - 1376 = 624 \text{ m}\)
