In a 500 m race, the ratio of speeds of two participants \(A\) and \(B\) is \(4: 5\).
If \(A\) has a start of 180 m , then the distance by which \(A\) wins is :

  1. A 100 m
  2. B 180 m
  3. C 150 m
  4. D 120 m
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 100 m

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

A's distance to cover: \( 500 \text{ m} - 180 \text{ m} = 320 \text{ m} \) Ratio of speeds: \( S_A : S_B = 4:5 \) Time taken by A to finish: \( T_A = \frac{320}{4} = 80 \text{ units of time} \) Distance covered by B in time \( T_A \): \( D_B = 5 \times 80 = 400 \text{ m} \)…
