Question

    In a kilometre race, A beats B by 30 metres or 6 seconds. Find the time taken by A to finish the race?

    A 3 min 14 sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 2 min 12 sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 3 min 20 sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 3 min 25 sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    It is obvious that B runs 30 meters in 6 seconds. So total time taken by B to finish the race =6/30 × 1000 = 200 seconds So time taken by A to finish the race = 200 - 6 = 194 seconds or 3 minute 14 seconds
