To cover a race of 100 metres in this case, A will have to cover 100 metres while B will have to cover only (100 – 12) = 88 metres.
In a 100 race, ‘A can give B 12 m’ or ‘A can give B a start of 12 m’ or ‘A beats B by 12 m’ means that while A runs 100 m, B runs (100 – 12) = 88 m.
- Games: ‘A game of 100, means that the person among the contestants who scores 100 points first is the winner’.
If A scores 100 points while B scores only 80 points, then we say that ‘A can give B 20 points’.
