Life is not a race

If the probability of winning a race of an athlete is 1/6 less than the twice the probability of losing the race. Find the probability of winning the race.

A beats B by 100 m in a race of 1200 m and B beats C by 200 m in a race of 1600 m. Approximately by how many metres can A beat C in a race of 9600 m ?

In a race of 1200m, A can beat B by 120 m and in a race of 500 m, B can beat C by 100 m. By how many metres will A beat C in a race of 800 m?

In a race of 1km A beats B by 100m in a race of 300m B beats C by 50m. Then in a race of 1 km by what margin will A beat C?

The probability that A can win a race is 3/8 and the probability that B can win it is 1/6 . If both run a race, find the probability that one of them will win the race, assuming that both cannot win together.

In a race of 600 m ,A can beat B by 30 m and in a race of 500 m, B can beat C by 25m .By how many metres will A beat C in a race of 400 m?
