AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine how far B will run when A completes the 100 meters, given that A gives B a head start of 10 meters. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Race Setup**: - The total distance of the race is 100 meters. - A gives B a head start of 10 meters. This means that when A starts running, B has already covered 10 meters. 2. **Distance Covered by A**: - When A finishes the race, he has covered 100 meters. 3. **Calculating the Distance Covered by B**: - Since B has a head start of 10 meters, he only needs to cover the remaining distance of the race. - Therefore, when A runs 100 meters, B would have covered: \[ \text{Distance covered by B} = \text{Total distance} - \text{Head start} \] \[ \text{Distance covered by B} = 100 \text{ m} - 10 \text{ m} = 90 \text{ m} \] 4. **Conclusion**: - Thus, when A finishes the race at 100 meters, B will have covered 90 meters. ### Final Answer: B will cover a distance of 90 meters. ---
