Time in which Karan travels 100 m Arjun travels only 90 m. Hence the ratio of their speeds is 10:9.

Time in which Karan covers 110m, Arjun will cover 99m. Hence Arjun is beaten by 1 meter. Hence answer is 4.
It takes time and effort to explain, so if my comment helped you please press Thanks button :)



Just because something is hard doesn't mean you shouldn't try,it means you should just try harder.
