In a 900 meter marathon, if Akhil beats Suraj by 150
meters and Suraj beats Puneet by 300 meters, then find the distance by which Akhil beats ‘C’.Solution
Distance covered by Suraj in the same time that Akhil takes to cover 900 meter = 900 – 150 = 750 meters Distance covered by Puneet in the same time that Suraj takes to cover 900 meter = 900 – 300 = 600 meters Distance covered by Puneet in the same time that Suraj takes to cover 750 meter = (600/900) × 750 = 500 meters Therefore, Akhil will beat Puneet by = (900 – 500) = 400 meters
