Speed of A = 100 (distance) /36 (Time) = 2.78 m/s.
Speed of B = 100 (distance) /45 (Time) = 2.22 m/s.
Difference in speed between A & B = 0.56 m/s < i.e. 2.78-2.22 m/s>.
Hence in 36 seconds in which A finishes the race, B will cover 2.22*36 = 80 meters.
So, A finishes the race 20m ahead of B.
Speed of B = 100 (distance) /45 (Time) = 2.22 m/s.
Difference in speed between A & B = 0.56 m/s < i.e. 2.78-2.22 m/s>.
Hence in 36 seconds in which A finishes the race, B will cover 2.22*36 = 80 meters.
So, A finishes the race 20m ahead of B.

20P---28P------100P.
A---- B ---- C.
Here, the difference between B and c is 8 points when you calculate only for 80 Points (from B to 100).
So 8 Points - 80 Points.
But we need for 100 points.
Then 8p -80p.
10P-100P.
Hope you understand.
