Solution

The correct option is D $29$ m
Ratio of the distances covered by $A$ and $B$ $= 190 : 200 = 1710 : 1800$
Ratio of the distances covered by $B$ and $C$ $= 180 : 200 = 1800 : 2000$
Ratio of the distances covered by $A$ and $C$ $= 1710 : 2000 = 171 : 200$
Hence, $C$ will give a start of $(200 m - 171 m) = 29$ m to $A$ in the same race.
