58 M

When A travels 600 mtrs, B travels 540 mtrs
when A travels 400 m, B travels 400*540/600= 540*2/3= 360mtrs

when B travels 500 mtrs, C travels 475 mtrs
when B travels 360 mtrs, C travels 360*475/500= 342 mtrs

so when A travels 400 mtrs, B travels 360 mtrs, C travels 342 mtrs.
so A will beat c by 58 mtrs in 400 mtr race.

A runs B runs C runs

600 metres race 600m 540 m

500 metres race 500 m 450m

Combing ratio A runs B runs C runs

300metres - 2700meters - 2430metres

Unitary A runs B runs C runs

Method 400mtres - 360 metres - 324 metres

∴ A beats C by 400-324 = 76 metres.
