A takes 3 min 45 seconds to complete a kilometer. B takes 4 minutes to complete the same 1 km track. If A and B were to participate in a race of 2 km, how much start can A give B in terms of distance?

Answer: D

A can give B a start of 15 seconds in a km race.
B takes 4 minutes to run a km. i.e 1000/4= 250 m/min = 250/60 m/sec
Therefore, B will cover a distance of = 62.5 meters in 15 seconds.
The start that A can give B in a km race therefore, is 62.5 meters, the distance that B run in 15 seconds.
Hence in a 2 km race, A can give B a start of 62.5 * 2 = 125 m or 30 seconds.

When R scores 80, P scores 60

In a 200m race, if A gives B a start of 25 meters, then A wins the race by 10 seconds. Alternatively, if A gives B a start of 45 meters the race ends in a dead heat. How long does A take to run 200m?

Answer: C

A gives B a start of 25 meters and still wins the race by 10 seconds.
Alternatively, if A gives B a start of 45 meters, then the race ends in a dead heat.
Therefore, the additional 20 meters start given to B compensates for the 10 seconds.i.e., B runs 20 meters in 10 seconds.
Hence, B will take 100 seconds to run 200 meters.
We know that A gives B a start of 45 meters. B will take 22.5 seconds to run this 45 meters as B runs 20 meters in 10 seconds or at the speed of 2 m/s.
Hence, A will take 22.5 seconds lesser than B or 100 - 22.5 = 77.5 seconds to complete the race.
