Answer : B
Explanation
Distance covered by B in 3 sec. =(100/30*3) m = 10m ∴ A beats B by 10m.
Q 2 - In a 300m race, A beats B by 15 meters or 5 sec. A?s time over the course is
Answer : B
Explanation
15m are covered by B in 5 sec. 300 m are covered by B in (5/15*300) sec. = 100 sec. Time taken by A =(100-5) sec.= 95 sec.
Q 3 - A can run 1 km in 4 min.54 sec. and B in 5 min. How many meters start can A give B in a km race so that the race may end in a dead heat?
Answer : C
Explanation
Distance covered by B in 6 sec. =(1000/300*6)m = 20m ∴ A beats B by 20 m. For a dead heat race, A must give B a start of 20m.
Q 4 - In a 100m race, A can give B 10m and C 28m. In the same race, B can give C:
Answer : A
Explanation
A : B :C = 100:90:72 ∴ B:C = 90/72 =(90* 100/90)/(72*100/90) = 100/80 = (100:80) ∴ B can give C 20 m.
Q 5 - In a 100m race, A beats B by 10m and C by 13m. In a race of 180m, B will beat C by :
Answer : C
Explanation
A: B :C = 100: 90:87 ∴ B/C = 90/87 = 90*2/87*2 = 180/174 Thus, while B covers 180m , C covers 174 m. ∴ B beats C by 6m.
Q 6 - A and B take part in a 100m race. A runs at 5km/hr. A gives B a start of 8m and still beats him by 8 sec. B?s speed is:
Answer : D
Explanation
A's speed =(5*5/18) m/s = 25/18m/s. Time taken by A to cover 100m = (100* 18/25) sec. =72 sec. ∴ B covers 92 m in (72+8) sec.= 80 sec. ∴ B's speed = (92/80)m/sec. = (92/80* 18/5) km/hr = 4.14km/hr
Q 7 - At a game of billiards, A can give B 15 points in 60 and A can give C 20 in 60. How many can B give C in a game of 90 ?
