P runs 20% faster than Q so P gives Q a 300 meter head start. If the race ends in a tie, how far (in meters) did P run in the race? Options.
A) 1500
B) 1600
C) 1700
D) 1800
E) 1900
Let D be the race distance that P ran.   Let T be the time it took to complete the race.   Let V be Q's speed.   T = D/1.2V = (D-300) / V   D=1.2D-360   0.2D=360   D=1800 meters.   The answer is 1800.
