Answer 1

Akshara will beat Akshat by 10 meters in a 100 m race.

Step-by-step explanation:

Akshat runs 100 m in 20 s, while Akshara runs the same distance in 10 s. To determine by what distance Akshara will beat Akshat in a 100 m race, we subtract Akshat's time from Akshara's time.

Akshara's time - Akshat's time = 10s - 20s = -10s.

A negative time indicates that Akshara finished the race 10 seconds before Akshat, which means Akshara beat Akshat by 10 meters.
