Question Explanation

Text Explanation

v(b)v(a)\frac{v(b)}{v(a)} = m45m\frac{m-45}{m} …..(1)

where ‘”m” is the entire distance of the race track.

Moreover v(b)v(c)\frac{v(b)}{v(c)}=mm50\frac{m}{m-50} …….(2)

and finally v(a)v(c)\frac{v(a)}{v(c)}=mm90\frac{m}{m-90} ……(3)

Multiplying (1) and (2) we get (3). 

mm90\frac{m}{m-90}=mm45\frac{m}{m-45}(mm50\frac{m}{m-50})

Solving we get m=450 which is the length of the entire race track
