Any contest of speed in running, dewing, ‘ing or rowing is called a Race. ‘The point from where a race begins is called the Starting Point. is Tasha where the race fishes is called the Finishing Poi cay 1g Point or Winning ‘The person who first reaches the finishing point is called the Winner {ts an application of speed, time & Distance there are two types of race. Time fixed- the win or loss depends on distance. Distance fixed- The win or loss depends on the basis of time. ——___& \ Ina km race, A'BBats B by §6 metre or 7 seconds. Find A's time over the course. Clearty, B covers 56 m in 7 seconds. —— 1000 meter- B-S6nvA oPsec B's timeover the course = (31000) sec = 125 seconds As time over the course = (125 - 7) sec = 1 min $8 seconds QUANTITATIVE APTITUDE CHAPTER-5 RACE Ex. 2. Ina km race Abeats 8 by 30 meter, in S00 metre race B beats C by 20 metre so in 100 metre race A beats by C-38pep-an~ A \ Since, inakm race Abeats B by -30 metre In a 100 metrg/race A beats B by - @® » ep 100 = 3 metre 19500 metre race B beats C by 20 metre In 97 metre race B beats C by- 20 = 2.97 =38 500 So, Abeats B by 3 + 3.8 = 6.8 metre. Ex.3, Ina race of 600 m, Acan beat B by 60 m ‘and in a race of 500 m, B can beat C by 50. By how many m will Abeat C in a race of 400 m? Clearly, if Aruns 600 metres, B runs = 540 m Sol. ~ IfAruns 400 m, B runs = (E3400) 160 metres Again, when B runs 500 m, C runs = 450,
