Correct Answer

(A) 100 m

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

A's effective race distance \( = 500 \text{ m} - 180 \text{ m} = 320 \text{ m} \). Let speeds be \( v_A = 4x \) and \( v_B = 5x \). Time for A to finish \( t = \frac{320 \text{ m}}{4x} = \frac{80}{x} \text{ s} \). Distance covered by B in time…
