View Answer

Correct choice: B

Explanation:

B runs around the track in 10 min. i.e , Speed of B = 10 min per round Therefore, A beats B by 1 round Time taken by A to complete 4 rounds = Time taken by B to complete 3 rounds = 30 min Therefore, A's speed = 30/4 min per round = 7.5 min per round Hence, if the race is only of one round A's time over the course = 7 min 30 sec
58 / 86
