In a race of 1 km, A can beat B by 40 m and B can beat C by 50 m. With how much distance can A beat C in a 0.5 km race?

A) 42 m

B) 43 m

C) 44 m

D) 46 m

Correct Answer: C

Solution :

When A runs 1000m,

then B runs 960 m,

and when B runs 1000 m,

then C runs 950 m.

i.e. C runs 5% less than B

So, when A = 1000

\[\Rightarrow \] B = 960

\[\Rightarrow \] C = 912

\[\therefore \]When A = 500 \[\Rightarrow \] C = 456

So, A will beat C by 44 m.
