A, B and C are in a cycle race of 1500 meters. A cycles twice as fast as B, C cycles $\frac{1}{2}$ as fast as B, C completes the race in 40 minutes. Then, where was B from the finishing line when A finished the race?

550 m from the finish line

450 m from the finish line

650 m from the finish line

750 m from the finish line

✅ Correct Option: 4

Since A cycles twice as fast as B, when A finishes 1500 m, B has covered only half of it, i.e. 750 m. So B is $1500 - 750 = 750$ m from the finish line.
