Answer : [B]
Explanation :
 
The speed of A and B are in the ratio 11 : 8.
 
Let speeds be 11s and 8s (in m/sec)
 
Let race be of x m
 
Then time taken by A to run xm is same as that of B to run (x – 120) m.
 
 
 
x
11s
=
x - 120
8s
 
 
 
  3x = 11 x 120  
 
 
  x = 440.

Answer : [A]
Explanation :
 
Speeds (in m/sec) of A and B are
9
2
x
5
18
=
5
4
 and 6 x
5
18
=
5
3
, respectively  
 
A has a start of 190 m. So A has to run 1000 – 190 = 810 m while B 1000 m.
 
Time taken by B to cover 1000 m =
3
5
 x 1000 = 600 sec.    
 
In this time A covers
5
4
 x 600 = 750 m.    
 
So B reaches the wining post while A remains 810 – 750 = 60 m behind.
 
 
  B wins by 60 m.

Answer : [C]
Explanation :
 
Clearly, if A runs 600 metres, B runs = 540 m
 
 
  If A runs 400 m, B runs =  
540
600
 x 400    = 360 metres  
 
Again, when B runs 500 m. C runs = 450 m
 
 
  When B runs 360 m. C runs =  
450
500
 x 360    m = 324 m.

Answer : [C]
Explanation :
 
Here X becomes Ist, Y becomes IInd and Z becomes IIIrd in the race.
 
 
  (L - x12)x23 = L(x13 - x12)    
 
Where,
 
Ist (X) gives IInd (Y) a start of x12 = 50 metres
 
Ist (X) gives IIIrd (Y) a start of x13 = 69 metres
 
IInd (Y) gives IIIrd (Z) a start of x23 = ?
 
    Length of race(L)  = 1000 metres    
 
 
  (1000 - 50)x23  = 1000(69 - 50)    
 
 
  x23  = 20 metres.    
 
Hence Y gives Z a start of 20 metres.
