    Question

    Ratio of speeds of ‘A’ and ‘B’ is 4:7,

    respectively. If they participate in a 140-metre race and ‘B’ gives ‘A’, a head start of ‘m’ metres, then they finish the race at the same time. Find the value of ‘m’.
    A 65 metres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 55 metres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 60 metres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 40 metres Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the distance covered by ‘A’ in the time ‘B’ covers 140 metres be ‘x’ metres (x/140) = (4/7) Or, x = 80 So, m = 140 – 80 = 60 metres
