In a 100 m race, A beats B by 10 m and C by 13 m. In a race of 180 m, B will beat C by:
Choose the correct choice from the following options:
A) 3  B) 7  C) 8  D) 6  E) 0

Rationale: a : b = 100 : 90 . a : c = 100 : 87 . \ inline \ fn _ jvn { \ color { black } \ therefore \ frac { b } { c } = \ left ( \ frac { b } { a } \ times \ frac { a } { c } \ right ) = \ left ( \ frac { 90 } { 100 } \ times \ frac { 100 } { 87 } \ right ) = \ frac { 30 } { 29 } } when b runs 30 m , c runs 29 m . when b runs 180 m , c runs \ inline \ fn _ jvn { \ color { black } \ left ( \ frac { 29 } { 30 } \ times 180 \ right ) m } = 174 m \ inline \ fn _ jvn { \ color { blue } \ therefore } b beats c by ( 180 - 174 ) m = 6 m . answer : d ) 6 m
Answer: D
