A - 9m

B - 10m

C - 11m

D - 12m

Answer : B

Explanation

Distance covered by B in 3 sec. =(100/30*3) m = 10m 
∴ A beats B by 10m.

Q 2 - A can run 20 m while B runs 25 m. In a km race, B beats A by:

A - 125m

B - 200m

C - 225m

D - 250m

Answer : B

Explanation

In a 25m race, B beats A by 5 m.
In a km race , B beats A by (5/25*1000) m = 200m

Q 3 - In a 100m race, A can beat B by 25m and B can beat C by 4m. In the same race, A can beat C by

A - 29m

B - 21m

C - 26m

D - 28m

Answer : D

Explanation

A :B = 100:75  and B :C = 100:96
∴ A :C = (A/B * B/C ) = (100/75*100/96 ) = 100/72 = 100:72
So, A  beats C by (100-72) m = 28m

Q 4 - In a 100m race, A can give B 10m and C 28m. In the same race, B can give C:

A - 18m

B - 20m

C - 22m

D - 24m

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 :

A - 4.5m

B - 5.4m

C - 6m

D - 7.5m

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 - In a race of 200 m, A can beat by 31m and C by 18m. In a race of 350m, C will beat B by

A - 22.75m

B - 18m

C - 25m

D - 32m

Answer : C

Explanation

A :B:C =  200: 169: 182
 ∴      C/B = (182*350/182)/ (169*350/182) =  350/325 
Thus  when C covers  350m,  B covers 325m.
∴ C beats B by 25 m .

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 ?

A - 10 points

B - 12 points

C - 14 points

D - 16 points

Answer : A

A: B :C = 60:45: 40
 ∴  B:C = 45/40 =9/8 = 9*10/8*10 = 90/80
Thus , if B score 90 points , then C score 80 points.
B can give C 10 points in a game of 90.
