Let's the solution is that:-.
6 * (1/22.5) * 300 = 80.
Therefore, 80 sec is the answer.
6 * (1/22.5) * 300 = 80.
Therefore, 80 sec is the answer.

how b runs 45/2 m in 6 sec?

80 sec is correct but its only for A to cover 300 m as it beats.
B by 6 sec time taken by B to cover whole 300 m is 80+6 = 86 sec.
B by 6 sec time taken by B to cover whole 300 m is 80+6 = 86 sec.

Since A beats B by 22.5 meter (225/10 or 41/2) or 6 sec. It means both quantities are equal.
Or we can say 22.5 m = 6 sec.
Or 22.5 meters covers in 6 sec.
Hence.
1 m = 6/22.5 sec;
So 300 m = (6/22.5)*300 sec;
= 6/(45/2)*300 sec;
= 6*(2/45)*300 sec;
= 80 sec.
Or we can say 22.5 m = 6 sec.
Or 22.5 meters covers in 6 sec.
Hence.
1 m = 6/22.5 sec;
So 300 m = (6/22.5)*300 sec;
= 6/(45/2)*300 sec;
= 6*(2/45)*300 sec;
= 80 sec.

B speeds = 22.5m/6s = 3.75ms.
300/3.75 = 80.
300/3.75 = 80.

22.5m/6sec = 3.75mps total of meters = 300 therefore 300/3.75 = 80s.

Let see,
We know "(speed=distance/time)" or S=D/T
Given 22.5m in 6 sec then d=22.5,t=6sec
S=22.5/6
Now we have to find how much time taken to cover 300m distance.
T=D/S
=300/22.5/6
=80s
We know "(speed=distance/time)" or S=D/T
Given 22.5m in 6 sec then d=22.5,t=6sec
S=22.5/6
Now we have to find how much time taken to cover 300m distance.
T=D/S
=300/22.5/6
=80s
