    B 305 meters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 285 meters Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 272 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 800 meter = 800 – 120 = 680 meters Distance covered by Puneet in the same time that Suraj takes to cover 800 meter = 800 – 200 = 600 meters Distance covered by Puneet in the same time that Suraj takes to cover 680 meter = (600/800) × 680 = 510 meters Therefore, Akhil will beat Puneet by = (800 – 510) = 290 meters
