-
- 11.9 metre
- 1.19 metre
- 12.7 metre
- 1.27 metre
Correct Option: A
According to the question,
∴ When A runs 800 metres, B runs 760 metres
∴ When A runs 200 metres, B runs
| = | × 200 = 190 metres | |
| 800 |
Again, when B runs 500 metres, C runs 495 metres.
∴ When B runs 190 metres, C runs
| = | × 190 = 188.1 metres | |
| 500 |
∴ Hence, A will beat C by
200 – 188.1 = 11.9 metres in a race of 200 metres.
