In a race of 200m, A can beat B by 31m and C by 18m. In a race of 350m, C will beat B by-

A 25 m

B 22.75 m

C 19.75 m

D 19 m

Solution

Correct Answer: Option A

A : B = 200 : 169.

A : C = 200 : 182

C/B = 182/169

When C covers 182 m, B covers 169 m.

When C covers 350 m, B covers 169x350/182 = 325 m

So, C will beat B by (350-325)m = 25 m
