1000/25=40 then
22.5*40=900
1000-900=100m

Sachin kumar verma  (12 years ago)

because A runs 22.5m and B runs 25m
So B is 25-22.5=2.5m ahead.
Race is to 1000m
hence total difference=2.5*(1000/25)
=> 2.5*40
=> 100 m.
Hence (A) is correct.

A. 100m
Explaina: 1000m = 1km
A can run 22.5m while B runs 25m.
Therefore, When B runs 100m while A reach 90m (25*4=100;22.5*4=2=90)
If B reach 1000m, on that time A reach 900m only
(100*10=1000;90*10=900).
So, the difference is B-A= (1000-900)
= 100m

vvkrishna  (12 years ago)

the answer is A.
for every 25 m run by B, A will be short of 2.5m in a kilometre race can be devided into 40 25m races means (40*25=1000), threfore 40*2.5m short, so B will beat A by 100ms

Thushara P.T  (12 years ago)

A. 100
when B completes 100m(ie 25*4),then A will complete 90m(ie 22.5*4).That means there is a difference of 10m for every 100m.
Then for 1000m, 10*10 = 100m difference.
Therefore 1 KM race B beats A by 100m.

Is this solution Helpfull? Yes | No   

JAYA TRIPATHI  (7 years ago)

since for every 25 mtr B ahead to A = 2.5 mtr

the total race is upto 1km = 1000mtr

therefore , B leads by A = 2.5*1000/25 = 100mtr.

Is this solution Helpfull? Yes | No   

Mritunjay  (6 years ago)

A is lagging by 2.5m in every 25m
so 2.5+2.5+2.5+2.5 = 10....is for 100 meters
for 1000 meters 10*10=100

Is this solution Helpfull? Yes | No
