A can run 1 km in 3 min 10 sec and B can cover the same distance in 3 min 20 sec. By what distance can A beat B?

Answer

Answer (as printed):

Explanation

$A$ beats $B$ by $(200-190) \mathrm{sec}=10 \mathrm{sec}$. Distance covered by $B$ in 10 sec $=\left(\frac{1000}{200} \times 10\right) \mathrm{m}=50 \mathrm{m}$. $\therefore A$ beats $B$ by 50 m.
