Q:
A and B runs around a circular track. A beats B by one round or 10 minutes. In this race, they had completed 4 rounds. If the race was only of one round, find the A's time over the course:
Answer & Explanation
Answer: B) 7.5 min
Explanation: B runs around the track in 10 min.
i.e , Speed of B = 10 min per round
Therefore, A beats B by 1 round
Time taken by A to complete 4 rounds
= Time taken by B to complete 3 rounds
= 30 min
Therefore, A's speed = 30/4 min per round = 7.5 min per round
Hence, if the race is only of one round A's time over the course = 7 min 30 sec
