The athletes from FRG and USA decided to run a 4 × 100 m relay race for their respective countries with the country having three athletes borrowing the athlete from CZE. Assume that all the athletes ran their stretch of the relay race at the same speed as in Decathlon event. How much more time did the FRG relay team take as compared to the USA team?
Explanation:
Total time taken by the FRG team = 10.58 + 10.85 + 10.95 + 10.63 = 43.01
∵ 10.63 is the time taken by Tomas (CZE) who joins the FRG team.
Total time taken by the USA team = 10.78 + 10.75 + 10.94 + 10.36 = 42.83
Extra time taken by FRG team
= 43.01 − 42.83
= 0.18
Hence, option (a).
