Best answer

Taking winning by time be a positive integer and losing by time be a negative integer.

∴ Sana’s total time (winning/losing)

= (10 – 60 + 20 – 25 – 37 + 12) seconds

= (42 – 122) seconds = -80 seconds

Hence, Sana lost the race by 80 seconds or 1 min. 20 seconds.

i.e., Fatima won the race finally.
