Solution

The correct option is B Peter, 50 m
Sahsa covers 90 m. Also, she covers 40 m more than Peter.
So, Peter covers 50 m.

We know that Kayla covers more distance than James. So, Kayla is the one who finishes first.
Kayla covers 20 m more than James. So, James covers 80 m.
Therefore, Peter covers 50 m and finishes in the last spot in the race.
