B. 205 sec
C. 210 sec
D. 250 sec
Answer: Option B
Solution(By Examveda Team)
In a km race, suppose A takes t sec,Then, B takes (t + 30) sec, and C takes (t + 45) sec
180 m is covered by C in 45 sec
∴ 1000 m is covered by C in
= $$\left( {\frac{{45}}{{180}} \times 1000} \right)$$ sec
= 250 sec
∴ A covers 1000 m in
= (250 - 45) sec
= 205 sec
