  1. A 80 m
  2. B 40 m
  3. C 75 m
  4. D 100 m
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 40 m

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

A's distance to cover \( = 700 \text{ m} - 150 \text{ m} = 550 \text{ m} \) Distance covered by B \( = \frac{S_B}{S_A} \times 550 \text{ m} \) \( = \frac{6}{5} \times 550 \text{ m} = 660 \text{ m} \) A wins by \( = 700 \text{ m} - 660 \text{ m} = 40 \text{ m} \)
