Answer»

A can GIVE B (5 MIN - 4 1/2 min) = 30 SEC start.

The distance covered by B in 5 min = 1000 m.

Distance covered in 30 sec = (1000 * 30)/300 = 100 m.

A can give B 100m start.

A can give B (5 min - 4 1/2 min) = 30 sec start.

The distance covered by B in 5 min = 1000 m.

Distance covered in 30 sec = (1000 * 30)/300 = 100 m.

A can give B 100m start.
