    Question

    Ratio of speeds of β€˜A’ and β€˜B’ is 3:5,

    respectively. If they participate in a 400-metre race and β€˜B’ gives β€˜A’, a head start of β€˜m’ metres, then they finish the race at the same time. Find the value of β€˜m’.
    A 160 metres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 150 metres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 140 metres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 110 metres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the distance covered by β€˜A’ in the time β€˜B’ covers 400 metres be β€˜x’ metres (x/400) = (3/5) Or, x = 240 So, m = 400 – 240 = 160 metres
