In an 1170 m race, Raman reaches the final point in 65 seconds and Mohan reaches the final point in 90 seconds. By how much distance does Raman beat Mohan?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 325 m.
Given that
In an 1170 m race, Raman reaches the final point in 65 seconds
and Mohan reaches the final point in 90 seconds
According to the question
⇒The speed of Mohan = 1170/90 = 13 m/s
Raman completes the race in 65 seconds
⇒The distance covers by Mohan = 65 × 13 = 845 m
Hence, the distance by which Raman beats Mohan = 1170 - 845 = 325 m
