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

[A].

[C].

[D].

7 4 m

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

A : B = 200 : 169.

A : C = 200 : 182.

C = C x A = 182 x 200 = 182 : 169.
B A B 200 169

When C covers 182 m, B covers 169 m.

When C covers 350 m, B covers 169 x 350 m = 325 m.
182

Therefore, C beats B by (350 – 325) m = 25 m.
