Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. When A runs 600 m, B runs 600×56=500600 \times \frac{5}{6} = 500 m.

  2. A wins by 600−500=100600 - 500 = 100 m.

Worth noting

120 m takes 15\frac{1}{5} of the race; the margin is the 16\frac{1}{6} of A's 600 m that B has not covered.
