Answer 1

Given:

In a 100 m race, A beats B by 20 m And B beats C by 20 m

Calculation:

According to the question,

When A covers 100 m, B covers 80 m

And when B covers 100 m, C covers 80 m

So, the distance ratio of A to B and B to C are 10 : 8 and 10 : 8

A : B : C = 100 : 80 : 64

So, A beats C by 100 - 64

⇒ 36 m

∴ A beats C by 36 m
