If A score 60 points, B score 50 points and C score 45 points.
When B scores 50 points, C scores 45 points.
When B scores 90 points, C scores (45/50 *90) points = 81 points.
∴ B can give C, 9 points   in a game of 90.

Q 2 - A can run 20 m while B runs 25 m. In a km race, B beats A by:

Answer : B

Explanation

In a 25m race, B beats A by 5 m.
In a km race , B beats A by (5/25*1000) m = 200m

Q 3 - In a 100m race, A can beat B by 25m and B can beat C by 4m. In the same race, A can beat C by

Answer : D

Explanation

A :B = 100:75  and B :C = 100:96
∴ A :C = (A/B * B/C ) = (100/75*100/96 ) = 100/72 = 100:72
So, A  beats C by (100-72) m = 28m

Q 4 - In a 100m race, A can give B 10m and C 28m. In the same race, B can give C:

Answer : A

Explanation

A : B :C = 100:90:72
∴      B:C = 90/72    =(90* 100/90)/(72*100/90) = 100/80  = (100:80)
∴  B can give C 20 m.

Q 5 - In a 100m race, A beats B by 10m and C by 13m. In a race of 180m, B will beat C by :

Answer : C

Thus,  while B covers 180m , C covers 174 m.
∴  B beats C by 6m.

Q 6 - In a race of 200 m, A can beat by 31m and C by 18m. In a race of 350m, C will beat B by

Answer : C

Explanation

A :B:C =  200: 169: 182
 ∴      C/B = (182*350/182)/ (169*350/182) =  350/325 
Thus  when C covers  350m,  B covers 325m.
∴ C beats B by 25 m .

Thus , if B score 90 points , then C score 80 points.
B can give C 10 points in a game of 90.
