Correct Answer: $\frac{10}{19}$
Solution : Given that in a linear race of 1000 m, A beats B by 50 m or 5 seconds. According to the question, When A covers 1000 m B covers 950 m Also, B covers 50 m in 5 sec The speed of B = $\frac{50}{5}$ = 10 m/sec To cover 950 m B will take $\frac{950}{10}$ = 95 sec As the time of covering 1000 m by A is the same as covering 950 m by B So, Speed of A = $\frac{1000}{95}$ = $\frac{200}{19}$ m/sec ⇒ Difference between the speeds of A and B = $\frac{200}{19}$ – 10 = $\frac{200−190}{19}$ = $\frac{10}{19}$ m/sec Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{10}{19}$.
