In a 900 m race, 'A' beats 'B' by 270 m and 'C' by 340 m. 'B' beats 'C' by _________m in the race.

Given:

In a 900 m race:

'A' beats 'B' by 270 m

'A' beats 'C' by 340 m

Formula used:

If 'A' beats 'B' by x meters and 'A' beats 'C' by y meters, then 'B' beats 'C' by:

Distance = y - x

Calculation:

'A' beats 'B' by 270 m

'A' beats 'C' by 340 m

⇒ Distance by which 'B' beats 'C' = 340 - 270

⇒ Distance = 70 m

∴ The correct answer is option (2).
