A. 86 sec

B. 80 sec

C. 76 sec

D. None of these

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

$$\eqalign{ & {\text{B runs}}\frac{{45}}{2}{\text{m in 6 sec}} \cr & \therefore {\text{B covers 300m in}} \cr & = \left( {6 \times \frac{2}{{45}} \times 300} \right)\sec \cr & = 80\,{\text{sec}} \cr} $$
