In 1760 m Race, A can beat B by 44 m. While in a 1320 m, B can beat C by 30m. By What distance will A beat C in a 880 m Race ?


A) 40 m

B) 40.5 m

C) 41 m

D) 41.5 m

E) 42 m

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

When A covers the distance of 1760 m, B covers only 176044 =1716 m

In 1320 m race, B can beat C by 30 m.

If B runs 1320 m, C runs 132030 =1290 m

If B runs 1716 m, C runs =(1290×1716)1320 = 1677 m

A:B:C =1760:1716:1677

Hence A will beat C by 17601677 =83 m in 1760 m race

i.e. 832 =4112 m in 880 race.
