The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, let's break down the information given in the question: 1. **Understanding the Race**: - A races against B and C in a 1000 m race. - When A finishes the race (1000 m), B is at 900 m (since A beats B by 100 m). - When A finishes the race (1000 m), C is at 810 m (since A beats C by 190 m). 2. **Finding the Distances**: - When A finishes the race, B has run 900 m. - When A finishes the race, C has run 810 m. 3. **Calculating the Distance B beats C**: - To find out by what distance B beats C, we need to calculate the difference in the distances they covered when A finished the race: \[ \text{Distance B beats C} = \text{Distance covered by B} - \text{Distance covered by C} \] \[ \text{Distance B beats C} = 900 \, \text{m} - 810 \, \text{m} = 90 \, \text{m} \] 4. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, B beats C by 90 meters in the same race. ### Final Answer: B beats C by 90 meters.
