Answer : 1. "25 m"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 25 m Explanation: A:B = 200 : 169A:C = 200 : 182 CB = CA×AB    182200×200169   => 182:169   When C covers 182 m , B Covers 169 mWhen C covers 350 m , B Covers 169182×350=> 325 m       So C beats B by (350 - 325) = 25 m.

Answer : 4. "Both a and b sufficient"
Explanation :

Answer: D) Both a and b sufficient Explanation: Let the sum be Rs. x a. gives, S.I = Rs. 9000 and time = 9 years. b. gives, Sum + S.I for 6 years = 2 x Sum --> Sum = S.I for 6 years. Now, S.I for 9 years = Rs. 9000 S.I for 1 year = Rs. 9000/9 = Rs. 1000. S.I for 6 years = Rs. (1000 x 6)= Rs. 6000. --> x = Rs. 6000 Thus, both a and b are necessary to answer the question.
