In a 100-meter race, A finishes 10 meters ahead of B. If A takes 10 seconds to complete the race, find B’s speed. a) 10 m/s b) 8 m/s c) 9 m/s d) 7 m/s
Solution: Let B’s speed be x m/s. Since A finishes 10 meters ahead, B has to cover 100 – 10 = 90 meters in the same time as A. So, B’s speed = distance/time = 90/10 = 9 m/s. Therefore, the correct option is (c) 9 m/s.
In a 200-meter race, A gives B a start of 20 meters and still beats him by 10 seconds. Find A’s speed. a) 10 m/s b) 12 m/s c) 15 m/s d) 16 m/s
Solution: Let A’s speed be x m/s. B covers the remaining distance of 200 – 20 = 180 meters in 10 seconds. So, B’s speed = distance/time = 180/10 = 18 m/s. A’s speed is the sum of B’s speed and the relative speed needed to cover the initial 20 meters, which is 18 + (20/10) = 18 + 2 = 20 m/s. Therefore, the correct option is (c) 20 m/s.
A and B run a 200-meter race. A beats B by 20 meters. If A’s speed is twice that of B, find the length of the race. a) 400 meters b) 600 meters c) 800 meters d) 1000 meters
Solution: Let B’s speed be x m/s. A’s speed is twice that of B, so A’s speed is 2x m/s. In the same time, A covers 200 meters, and B covers (200 – 20) = 180 meters. So, A’s speed = distance/time = 200/time and B’s speed = distance/time = 180/time. Since A’s speed is twice B’s speed, we have 200/time = 2(180/time). Solving this equation gives time = 6 seconds. Therefore, the length of the race is speed × time = 2x × 6 = 12x meters. The length of the race can be any multiple of 12x, so it is not uniquely determined. Therefore, the correct option is none of the above.
In a 400-meter race, A beats B by 40 seconds. If A’s speed is 10 m/s, find B’s speed. a) 8 m/s b) 6 m/s c) 7 m/s d) 9 m/s
Solution: A’s speed = 10 m/s. In 40 seconds, A covers 400 meters. So, B’s speed = distance/time = 400/40 = 10 m/s. Therefore, the correct option is none of the above.
A can complete a 100-meter race in 12 seconds, while B takes 15 seconds. By what distance does A beat B? a) 10 meters b) 12 meters c) 15 meters d) 20 meters
Solution: A’s speed = distance/time = 100/12 = 25/3 m/s. B’s speed = distance/time = 100/15 = 20/3 m/s. The difference in speed is (25/3) – (20/3) = 5/3 m/s. In 12 seconds, A covers (5/3) × 12 = 20 meters more than B. Therefore, the correct option is (d) 20 meters.
A can run 4 laps in the same time it takes B to run 3 laps. If A takes 24 seconds to complete a lap, how long does it take B to complete a lap? a) 18 seconds b) 20 seconds c) 21 seconds d) 27 seconds
Solution: Let B take t seconds to complete a lap. A takes 24 seconds to complete a lap, so A’s speed = distance/time = 1/24 laps/second. B’s speed = distance/time = 1/t laps/second. According to the given condition, 4/24 = 3/t. Solving this equation gives t = 18 seconds. Therefore, the correct option is (a) 18 seconds.

Solution: A’s speed = 5 m/s. In the same time, A covers 800 meters and B covers (800 – 80) = 720 meters. So, B’s speed = distance/time = 720/800 = 9/10 m/s. Therefore, the correct option is none of the above.
A and B run a 2 km race. A beats B by 200 meters. If B takes 10 minutes to complete the race, find A’s speed. a) 8 km/h b) 10 km/h c) 12 km/h d) 15 km/h
Solution: B’s speed = distance/time = 2 km/10 minutes = (2/10) km/minute = (1/5) km/minute. In the same time, A covers 2 km + 200 meters = 2.2 km. So, A’s speed = distance/time = 2.2 km/10 minutes = (2.2/10) km/minute = (11/50) km/minute. Converting this to km/h, we have (11/50) × 60 = 66/5 km/h = 13.2 km/h. Therefore, the correct option is none of the above.

Solution: Let A’s speed be x m/s. B covers the remaining distance of 400 – 40 = 360 meters in 4 seconds. So, B’s speed = distance/time = 360/4 = 90 m/s. A’s speed is the sum of B’s speed and the relative speed needed to cover the initial 40 meters, which is 90 + (40/4) = 90 + 10 = 100 m/s. Therefore, the correct option is none of the above.

Solution: B’s speed = distance/time = 2 km/10 minutes = (2/10) km/minute = (1/5) km/minute. In the same time, A covers 2 km + 400 meters = 2.4 km. So, A’s speed = distance/time = 2.4 km/10 minutes = (2.4/10) km/minute = (12/50) km/minute. Converting this to km/h, we have (12/50) × 60 = 14.4 km/h. Therefore, the correct option is none of the above.
