2 Answer & Explanation
Answer: Option C
35.Races and Games
Explanation:
1. In a 100 m race, A can give B 10 m and C 28 m. In the
same race B can give C:
To reach the winning post A will have to cover a distance
A.18 m B. 20 m
of (500 - 140)m, i.e., 360 m.
C. 27 m D.9 m
Answer & Explanation
While A covers 3 m, B covers 4 m.
Answer: Option B
4
While A covers 360 m, B covers x 360 = 480 m.
Explanation: 3 m
A : B = 100 : 90. Thus, when A reaches the winning post, B covers 480 m
and therefore remains 20 m behind.
A : C = 100 : 72.
A wins by 20 m.
154; Asraf (DU) & Dolar (RU)
A : B = 200 : 169.
4. In a 100 m race, A beats B by 10 m and C by 13 m. In a
race of 180 m, B will beat C by: A : C = 200 : 182.
A.5.4 m B. 4.5 m
C. 5 m D.6 m C C A 182 200
Answer & Explanation = x = x = 182 : 169.
B A B 200 169
Answer: Option D
When C covers 182 m, B covers 169 m.
Explanation:
169
When C covers 350 m, B covers x 350 = 325 m.
A : B = 100 : 90. 182 m
A : C = 60 : 40. Explanation:
B B A 45 60 45 90 A : B = 100 : 80.

C A C 60 40 40 80
A : C = 100 : 72.
B can give C 10 points in a game of 90.
B B A 80 100 10 100
6. In a race of 200 m, A can beat B by 31 m and C by 18 m. = x = x = = = 100 : 90.
In a race of 350 m, C will beat B by: C A C 100 72 9 90

time over the course is:
Answer: Option B A.40 sec B. 47 sec
C. 33 sec D.None of these
Explanation: Answer & Explanation
Explanation: Explanation:
B runs 35 m in 7 sec. 5
Ratio of the speeds of A and B = : 1 = 5 : 3.

100 x 2310
P.W. = Rs. 5 = Rs. 1680.
P.W. = Rs. 1575. 100 + 15 x

Sum due = P.W. + T.D. = Rs. (1575 + 189) = Rs. 11. Rs. 20 is the true discount on Rs. 260 due after a certain
1764. time. What will be the true discount on the same sum
due after half of the former time, the rate of interest
8. A man buys a watch for Rs. 1950 in cash and sells it for being the same?
Rs. 2200 at a credit of 1 year. If the rate of interest is 10% A.Rs. 10 B. Rs. 10.40
per annum, the man: C. Rs. 15.20 D.Rs. 13
A.gains Rs. 55 B. gains Rs. 50 Answer & Explanation
C. loses Rs. 30 D.gains Rs. 30
Answer & Explanation Answer: Option B
Explanation: S.I. on Rs. (260 - 20) for a given time = Rs. 20.
S.P.= P.W. of Rs. 2200 due 1 year hence S.I. on Rs. 240 for half the time = Rs. 10.
2200 x 100
= Rs. T.D. on Rs. 250 = Rs. 10.
100 + (10 x 1)
= Rs. 2000.
10
T.D. on Rs. 260 = Rs. x 260 = Rs. 10.40
Gain = Rs. (2000 - 1950) = Rs. 50. 250
9. The true discount on Rs. 1760 due after a certain time at 12. The interest on Rs. 750 for 2 years is the same as the
12% per annum is Rs. 160. The time after which it is due true discount on Rs. 960 due 2 years hence. If the rate of
is: interest is the same in both cases, it is:
A.6 months B. 8 months A.12% B. 14%
C. 9 months D.10 months 2
C. 15% D.16 %
Answer & Explanation 3
Answer & Explanation
Answer: Option D
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Explanation:
P.W. = Rs. (1760 -160) = Rs. 1600.
S.I. on Rs. 750 = T.D. on Rs. 960.
S.I. on Rs. 1600 at 12% is Rs. 160.
This means P.W. of Rs. 960 due 2 years hence is Rs.
100 x 750.
5 5
Time 160 years x
= months = 10
= 1600 x = 12 T.D. = Rs. (960 - 750) = Rs. 210.
6 6 months.

Thus, S.I. on R.s 750 for 2 years is Rs. 210.
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
S.I. x T.D. 85 x 80
Sum = = = Rs. 1360.
(S.I.) - (T.D.) (85 - 80)
