Question

A can run 1800 m distance in 4 min and B can cover the same distance in 5 min. By how much distance does A beat B?

• A. 240 m
• B. 300 m
• C. 400 m
• D. 320 m
• E. 360 m

Answer 1

The correct option is E

360 m

Here B takes 1 min more than A to cover the same distance.

Distance covered by B in 1 min = $\frac{1800}{300}$ $\times$ 60 = 360 m

So, A beats B by 360 m.
