Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 600 metres.
In a 5-km race, A beats B by 750 metres and C by 1260 metres. By how many metres does B beat C in the same race?
Race distance in metres = 5 × 1000 = 5000 m
Distance B covers = 5000 − 750 = 4250 m
Distance C covers = 5000 - 1260 = 3740 m
Difference in distance = 4250 - 3740 = 510
