Question : In a 500-metre race, the ratio of speeds of two runners P and Q is $3:5$. P has a start of 200 metres, then the distance between P and Q at the finish of the race is:
Option 1: P wins by 100 metres
Option 2: Both reach at the same time
Option 3: Q wins by 100 metres
Option 4: Q wins by 50 metres
Correct Answer: Both reach at the same time
Solution : Given: In a 500-metre race, the ratio of speeds of two runners P and Q is $3:5$ and P has a start of 200 metres. Distance to be covered by A = (500 – 200) = 300 metres Time taken by A to cover 300 metres = $\frac{300}{3}=100$ time units Distance covered by B in 100 time units, ⇒ (100 × 5) = 500 metres Hence, the correct answer is 'Both reach at the same time'.
