In a 1000 m race A gives a start of 100m to B and 150m to C. How much start can B give to C in a race of 1000 m.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
A : B : C
1000m 900m 850m
in a race of 900m, B gives a 50 meters start to C for 1000m
⇒ 900m → 50m
1000m → \(\frac{50}{900}\) × 1000 = 55\(\frac{5}{9}\) meters
