Question:

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.

Options:

54\(\frac{2}{9}\) m

55\(\frac{5}{9}\) m

57\(\frac{5}{9}\) m

58\(\frac{2}{9}\)m

Correct Answer:

55\(\frac{5}{9}\) m

Explanation:

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
