Answer : 3. "127.5 meters"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 127.5 meters Explanation: When A runs 1000 meters, B runs 900 meters and when B runs 800 meters, C runs 700 meters. Therefore, when B runs 900 meters, the distance that C runs = (900 x 700)/800 = 6300/8 = 787.5 meters. So, in a race of 1000 meters, A beats C by (1000 - 787.5) = 212.5 meters to C. So, in a race of 600 meters, the number of meters by Which A beats C = (600 x 212.5)/1000 = 127.5 meters.
