Question:

Riya runs 3/2 times as fast as Prerna. In a race, if Riya gives a lead of 100 m to Prerna, find the distance Riya has to run before both of them meet.

Options:

315 m

300 m

265 m

240 m

Correct Answer:

300 m

Explanation:

If time is constant, then

Ratio of speed = Ratio of distance

Ratio of speed = 3 : 2

Ratio of distance = 3 : 2

So,

1R = 100 m

3R= 300 m

So ,  The correct answer is 300 m.
