In a 500 meter marathon, if Akhil beats Suraj by 160
meters and Suraj beats Puneet by 250 meters, then find the distance by which Akhil beats ‘C’.Solution
Distance covered by Suraj in the same time that Akhil takes to cover 500 meter = 500 – 160 = 340 meters Distance covered by Puneet in the same time that Suraj takes to cover 500 meter = 500 – 250 = 250 meters Distance covered by Puneet in the same time that Suraj takes to cover 340 meter = (250/500) × 340 = 170 meters Therefore, Akhil will beat Puneet by = (500 – 170) = 330 metersÂ
