The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine how far B will run in a race where A gives B a head start of 20 meters in a total race distance of 150 meters. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Total Race Distance**: The total distance of the race is given as 150 meters. 2. **Identify the Head Start Given to B**: A gives B a start of 20 meters. This means that when A runs the full 150 meters, B only needs to cover the distance of 150 meters minus the 20 meters head start. 3. **Calculate the Distance Covered by B**: - Distance covered by B = Total distance of the race - Head start given to B - Distance covered by B = 150 meters - 20 meters - Distance covered by B = 130 meters 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the distance that B will cover in the race is 130 meters. ### Final Answer: B will cover a distance of **130 meters**. ---
