Question: In a 500 m race, the speeds of two runners, A and B are in the ratio 5 : 6. If A is given a start of 100m, by how many meters does A win the race?

Solution:

Total race length = 500 meters.

A is given a start of 100 meters, so A runs 500 - 100 = 400 meters.

Speed ratio A : B = 5 : 6.

Let, B runs = X meter

Therefore,

400/X = 5/6

X = (6 × 400)/5

X = 480m

Remaining distance for B = 500 - 480 = 20 meters.

Therefore, A wins by 20 meters.
