1. Question: A runs `1 2/3` times as fast as B.If A gives B a start of 80 m, how far must the winning post be so that A and B might reach it the same time ?

    A
    200 m

    B
    300 m

    C
    270 m

    D
    160 m

    Note: Ratio of the speeds of A and B` = 5/3 : 1 = 5 : 3.` Thus in a race of 5m, A gains 2 m over B. 2m are gained by A in a race of 5m. 80 m will be gained by A in a race of` (5/2 xx 80) m. = 200 m :. Winning post is 200 m away from the starting point
