Exercise : Races and Games - General Questions
1.
In a 100 m race, A can give B 10 m and C 28 m. In the same race B can give C:
18 m
20 m
27 m
9 m
Answer: Option
Explanation:

A : B = 100 : 90.

A : C = 100 : 72.

B : C = B x A = 90 x 100 = 90 .
A C 100 72 72

When B runs 90 m, C runs 72 m.

When B runs 100 m, C runs 72 x 100 m = 80 m.
90

B can give C 20 m.

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:
5.15 kmph
4.14 kmph
4.25 kmph
4.4 kmph
Answer: Option
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

3.
In a 500 m race, the ratio of the speeds of two contestants A and B is 3 : 4. A has a start of 140 m. Then, A wins by:
60 m
40 m
20 m
10 m
Answer: Option
Explanation:

To reach the winning post A will have to cover a distance of (500 - 140)m, i.e., 360 m.

While A covers 3 m, B covers 4 m.

While A covers 360 m, B covers 4 x 360 m = 480 m.
3

Thus, when A reaches the winning post, B covers 480 m and therefore remains 20 m behind.

A wins by 20 m.

5 m
6 m
Answer: Option
Explanation:

A : B = 100 : 90.

A : C = 100 : 87.

B = B x A = 90 x 100 = 30 .
C A C 100 87 29

When B runs 30 m, C runs 29 m.

When B runs 180 m, C runs 29 x 180 m = 174 m.
30

B beats C by (180 - 174) m = 6 m.
