Show Answer
Answer:
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.
