In a 5 Km race, Vikas wins by 500 m over Anuj while Anuj can give a start of 200 m to Pavan in a 1 km race. In 5 km race, how much start can Vikas give Pavan so that both reach the destination simultaneously? Correct Answer 1400 m

In a 5 Km race, Vikas wins by 500 m over Anuj

⇒ Distance covered by Anuj when Vikas covered 5000 m = 5000 - 500 = 4500 m

Since Anuj can give a start of 200 m to Pavan in a 1 km race

⇒ Distance covered by Pavan when Anuj covered 1000 m = 1000 - 200 = 800 m

⇒ Distance covered by Pavan when Anuj covered 4500 m = × 4500 = 3600 m

∴ Start that Vikas can give to Pavan = 5000 - 3600 = 1400 m
