Question:

A is \(\frac{5}{3}\) times faster than B. A gives 60 m start to B in a race. Find length of race if both finish the race at same time?

Options:

100 m

150 m

175 m

125 m

Correct Answer:

150 m

Explanation:

                   A     :     B

Speed →     5    :     3

Distance →  5   :     3       [ If time is same then distance = speed]

                  ⇓          ⇓ 

                  diff. =  2 

ATQ,

2R = 60

1R = 30

Hence,

Length of race that A run completely = 5R = 5 x 30 = 150 m
