About Races and Games MCQs
These questions apply speed and ratio ideas to races. You will see problems where A beats B by a set distance or number of seconds, races with a head start, and ratio questions such as A running 22.5 m while B runs 25 m. Some combine two results, for example A beats B and B beats C, and ask by how much A beats C in the same race. Billiards and game point problems use the same proportional logic. The key is to compare distances covered in the same time, or times taken for the same distance.

Frequently asked questions
What does it mean when A beats B by 20 metres?
It means that when A crosses the finishing line, B is still 20 metres behind. So in the time A runs the full race distance, B runs the race distance minus 20 metres. This gives the ratio of their speeds, which is used to solve most race questions.
How do you combine two race results?
Convert each result into a ratio of distances covered in the same time. If A beats B by 25 m and B beats C by 4 m in 100 m, then A : B is 100 : 75 and B : C is 100 : 96. When A runs 100 m, C runs 72 m, so A beats C by 28 m.
