Detailed Solution

Concept: The potential of making a mistake is not analyzing the available information and applying the distance, speed, and time formula to compute the speeds of A, B, and C.
Another chance for error is making a calculation error, as the solving technique involves more concept-oriented computations. Finding the ratio of the distances traveled by A, C, and A, B to get the ratio of the distance traveled by B, C, which when multiplied with the supplied distance may be used to compute the distance traveled by C is an alternate method of solving. As a result, we can get the answer by subtracting the acquired value from the supplied total distance.
