In a 1000 m race, A beats B by 60 m and B beats C by 100 m. In the same race, by how many meters does A beat C?	Choose the most appropriate option:  A) 154 m  B) 176 m  C) 268 m  D) 129 m  E) 218 m
By the time A covers 1000 m, B covers  (1000 - 60)=

<output>940</output>
940 m.   By the time B covers 1000 m, C covers  (1000 - 100)= 
<gadget id="calculator"> (1000 - 100)</gadget>
<output>900</output>
900 m.   So, the ratio of speeds of A and C=   1000/940 * 1000/900 = 1000/846 So, by the time A covers 1000 m, C covers 846 m.   So in 1000 m race A beats C by 1000 - 846= 
<gadget id="calculator">1000 - 846</gadget>
<output>154</output>
154 m.   154 mnswer:154 m
<result>A</result>
In a 1000 m race, A beats B by 60 m and B beats C by 100 m. In the same race, by how many meters does A beat C?
