    Question

    In a race of 1.8 km, 'C' gives 'D' a head start of 360

    metres and still beats him by 180 metres. If 'D' takes 21 minutes to complete the race, what is the time taken by 'C'?
    A 12 mins Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 19.5 mins Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 15 mins Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 14.7 mins Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Distance covered by 'D' when 'C' finishes 1800 m = 1800 - 360 - 180 = 1260 m

    Speed ratio (C : D) = 1800 : 1260 = 10 : 7

    Time ratio = 7 : 10

    Time taken by C = (21/10) × 7 = 14.7 minutes
