In a 100 m race A covers the distance in 36 seconds and B in 45 seconds in this A beats B by? 20 m , 24 m , 28 m , 30 m

Answer: 20 m
Explanation

To solve this, we need to find how much distance B covers in the time it takes A to finish the race.

  • A's time: 36 seconds to cover 100 meters
  • B's time: 45 seconds to cover 100 meters

First, we calculate B's speed:

  • B's speed = Distance / Time = 100 m / 45 sec = 2.22 m/sec

Now, in 36 seconds (the time A takes to finish the race), B will cover:

  • Distance covered by B = B's speed × A's time = 2.22 m/sec × 36 sec = 80 m

Since A finishes the race in 36 seconds, but B only covers 80 meters, A beats B by 100 - 80 = 20 meters.
