Ravi and Raj are running a 200-meter race. Ravi completes it in 25 seconds, while Raj takes 30 seconds. By what distance will Ravi beat Raj?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Given:
Distance = 200 meters
Ravi's time = 25 seconds
Raj's time = 30 seconds
Formula:
Speed = Distance / Time
Ravi's speed = 200 / 25 = 8 m/s
Raj's speed = 200 / 30 = 20/3 m/s
Distance covered by Raj in 25 seconds
= (20/3) × 25 = 166.66 meters
Difference = 200 − 166.66 = 33.33 meters
