Solution

The correct option is B $40$
Distance of the race $= 200$ yd
Distance covered at fast pace $= 160$ yd
So, distance covered at a low pace
$= 200 - 160$
$= 40$ yd

Note: $1$ yd $= 3$ ft
$40$ yd $= 3 \times 40$
$= 120$ ft
So, the distance was $120$ feet that he was unable to maintain the pace.
