2. 

A and B take part in 100 m race. A runs at 5 kmph. A gives B a start of 8 m and still beats him by 8 seconds. The speed of B is:

[A]. 5.15 kmph[B]. 4.14 kmph
[C]. 4.25 kmph[D]. 4.4 kmph

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

A's speed = 5 x 5 m/sec = 25 m/sec.
18 18

Time taken by A to cover 100 m = 100 x 18 sec = 72 sec.
25

Time taken by B to cover 92 m = (72 + 8) = 80 sec.

B's speed = 92 x 18 kmph = 4.14 kmph.
80 5

While finding the speed of the B, why we are using the 92m only instead of 100m?

Sanju said: (Sun, May 15, 2011 05:50:34 AM)    
 
Out of 100m he ran 8m so we deduct 8m from 100m then we get 92m to obtain B Speed we should caluclate B Speed by using 92m instead of 100m. I hope you understand. !

We should understand the ques properly. Its in the ques that b is 8m forward than a in 100m race, am I right?

Here first we can find the losers time, secondly we can find losers distance[since losers distance=winners distance- (start distance+beat distance) ] and later we can find the speed of B[since speed=distance/time]. Which is the final answer.

Is this not the correct procedure. Please tell me if it is.

Why Time taken by B to cover 92 m = (72 + 8) = 80 sec. comes?
Can any one explain ?

@Baburaj:

Because A is taking 72sec to run 100m and beats B by 8sec.
that means still B needs 8sec to complete 100m.
therefore time taken by B to complete 92m is 72+8=80sec.

How did you get A's speed ? I dint understand. Please explain.

How A's speed is found ?

Jaanvi said: (Mon, Jan 23, 2012 05:06:15 PM)    
 
@anamika & sayed
A's speed is in kmph. to make it in m/s, 5 is multiplied with 1000/(60X60).
Hence, 5X5/18=25/18
