The answer vary for different races (i.e) 100 m, 200 m, 400 m and others __________________________________________________________
Let Taking the first race,
A:B = 100:90
B:C = 90:80
So, A:C = 100/90 × 90/80 ⇒ 100:80
And so, the answer = 20 m (as (100-80) m the distance by which A beat C) __________________________________________________________
