Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Given that when Tortoise covers 1m, Hare covers 10 meters.
That is, for every second the distance between the Hare and Tortoise gets reduced by 9 meters.
To cover 100 meters it takes 100 / 9 = 11.11 seconds for Hare.
So the distance covered by Hare = 11.11 × 10 = 111.1
