Question

In a relay race, Murphy and Fenix cover a distance of 12 m and 15 m respectively. If 10 points were scored on covering 100 cm, then find the points scored by Murphy and Fenix. (Remember: 1m = 100cm)

• A. 300, 240
• B. 120, 150
• C. 250, 300
• D. 220, 350

Answer 1

The correct option is B 120, 150

For Murphy,
$\text{Distance covered =}12\times 100=1200cm$
$\text{Points for covering 1200 cm =}1200÷10=120$

For Fenix,
Distance covered = 15 x 100 = 1500cm
$\text{Points for covering 1500 cm =}1500÷10=150$
