    In a 540 meter marathon, if Akhil beats Suraj by 180 meters and Suraj beats Puneet by 300 meters, then find the distance by which Akhil beats ‘C’.

    A 330 meters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 305 meters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 380 meters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 360 meters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Distance covered by Suraj in the same time that Akhil takes to cover 540 meter = 540 – 180 = 360 meters Distance covered by Puneet in the same time that Suraj takes to cover 540 meter = 540 – 300 = 240 meters Distance covered by Puneet in the same time that Suraj takes to cover 360 meter = (240/540) × 360 = 160 meters Therefore, Akhil will beat Puneet by = (540 – 160) = 380 meters
