In a race of 300m, B gives a start of 30m to A and C gives a start of 60m to B. The start, that C can give to A in the same race.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
1st condition:
Ratio of distance covered ⇒ A : B = 270 : 300 = 9 : 10
2nd condition:
Ratio of distance covered ⇒ B : C = 240 : 300 = 4 : 5
Now,
A : B : C
9 : 10
4 : 5
36 : ---- : 50
50R = 300
1R = 6
36R = 216m
Here we can see that, if C covers 300 m then A covers 216 m.
Therefore,
C gives ⇒ 300 - 216 = 84m start to A in the same race.
