In a race,P gives Q a start of 25 m making length of race for Q, a distance of 175 m. Find the total length of race.

Options

A. 250 M
B. 200 M
C. 225 M
D. 235 M

Answer

To solve the problem step by step, let's break it down:

### Step 1: Understand the given information
- P gives Q a start of 25 meters.
- The distance that Q runs in the race is 175 meters.

### Step 2: Determine the distance P runs
Since Q is given a start of 25 meters, it means that when Q has run 175 meters, P has run the distance of Q's distance plus the 25 meters start that Q received.

### Step 3: Calculate the total distance P runs
To find the total distance that P runs, we add the distance Q runs to the distance of the start given to Q:
- Distance P runs = Distance Q runs + Start given to Q
- Distance P runs = 175 meters + 25 meters = 200 meters

### Step 4: Conclusion
The total length of the race, which is the distance that P runs, is 200 meters.

### Final Answer
The total length of the race is **200 meters**.
