A can run 1 km in 4 minutes 54 seconds and B in 5 minutes. By what distance does A beat B ?

  • A.15 m
  • B.20 m
  • C.25 m
  • D.30 m

Answer: B

Correct answer: 20 m

A finishes in 294 seconds. In that time B, who needs 300 seconds for the full kilometre, covers

\[1000 \times \frac{294}{300} = 980 \text{ m}\]

So A beats B by \(1000 - 980 = 20\) m, which corresponds to the 6-second gap.
