Track length = 1000 m
Formula used:
Distance = Speed × Time
Calculation:
"A" beats "B" by 50 m or 5 sec, which means "B" covers 50 m in 5 sec
Speed of "B" = 50/5 = 10 m/s
Time to cover 1000 m = 1000/10 = 100 sec
"A" beats "B" by 5 sec means "A" reach 5 sec early
Time taken by "A" to complete the race = 100 – 5 = 95 sec
∴ The time taken by "A" to complete the race is 95 sec
