In a 1000 m race, A beats B by 50 m and B beats C by 50 m. In the same race, by how many meters does A beat C? Choose the correct answer: A) A)98m B) B)829m C) C)822m D) D)929m E) E)132mj
By the time A covers 1000 m, B covers  (1000 - 50)=

950 m.   By the time B covers 1000 m, C covers  (1000 - 50)= 
<gadget id="calculator"> (1000 - 50)</gadget>
<output>950</output>
950 m.   So, the ratio of speeds of A and C=   1000/950 * 1000/950 = 1000/902 So, by the time A covers 1000 m, C covers 902 m.   So in 1000 m race A beats C by 1000 - 902=

<output>98</output>
98 m.   98mnswer:98m
<result>A</result>
In a 1000 m race, A beats B by 50 m and B beats C by 50 m. In the same race, by how many meters does A beat C?
