    Question

    Ratio of speeds of ‘A’ and ‘B’ is 2:3,

    respectively. If they participate in a 450-metre race and ‘B’ gives ‘A’, ahead start of ‘m’ metres, then they finish the race at the same time. Find the value of ‘m’.
    A 100 metres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 160 metres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 150 metres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 190 metres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the distance covered by ‘A’ in the time ‘B’ covers 450 metres be ‘x’ metres (x/450) = (2/3) Or, x = 300 So, m = 450 – 300 = 150 metres
