Question

In a 500m race, Akram beats Imran by 50 meters. Imran beats Waqar by 50 meters.
By how many meters does Akram beat Waqar in the same race?

• A. 100 m
• B. 105 m
• C. 95 m
• D. 110 m
• E. 90 m

Answer 1

The correct option is C

95 m

While Akram covers 500 meters, Imran can cover 450 meters.

$\Rightarrow$ While Imran covers 500 meters, Waqar can cover 450 meters.

$\Rightarrow$ Lets assume that all three of them are running same race.

So, when Imran runs 450 meters, Waqar can run 450 $\times$ $\frac{9}{10}=405$

$\Rightarrow$ So Akram beats Waqar by 95 meters.
