标题: Is the answer wrong? -- Data sufficiency in simple maths
Here is the problem:
Two racecar drivers, A and B, are driving around a circular track. If A is 200 meters behind B and both drivers drive their respective constant rates, how long, in second, will it take for A to catch up to B?

Given answer is (B)

My questions:
1. B is faster than A, how can A catch up to B? Shouldn't it be B to catch up to A?
2. Then, if B is catching up A on a circular track, the difference between them is not 200 meters, but (the circumference - 200) meters, right? Thus my asnwer is actually (C)!

我晕,题目没有说他们两个的速度谁快谁慢啊。

而且他们是往 一个方向走的,所以差距是200m,而不是周长-200m。

列个公式就是  Va·t-Vb·t=200m

所以不需要知道周长,只需要B的条件就可以解出来

sorry,(2)里说的B比A快,所以不应是B追A么。。。
