Jane gave Karen a 5 m head start in a 100 race and Jane was beaten by 0.25m. In how many meters more would Jane have overtaken Karen?

its 5.25

If Jane was beaten by 0.25 m, then Jane covered 99.75m in the time that Karen took to cover 95m (since Karen had a 5m headstart).
Jane gained 4.75 m over karen in 99.75 m.
Therefore, Jane would have gained 1m over Karen in (99.75/4.75) = 21 m.

Therefore, Jane would have covered the remaining 0.25m over Karen in 21*0.25=5.25m.

Hope this helps.

PS: Make sure u post the options with the questions as well.
