In a 200 m race, A can beat B by 50 m and B can beat C by 8 m. In the same race , A can beat C by what distance?
Correct Answer: 56 m
Explanation:
According to the question, A : B = 200 : 150
and B : C = 200 : 192
∴ A : C = (A/B) x (B/C) = (200/150) x (200/192) = 200/144
So, A beats C by (200 - 177) = 56 m
