    14 yards

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let distance covered by Jack be X yards.

    given Anna finished a race five yards ahead of jack

    therefore Anna covered 5 yards more than Jack.

    Hence if jack covered X yards, then Anna covered X + 5 yards.

    other condition

    jack finished nine yards ahead of tina

    It suggest that Jack covered 9 yards more than Tina. It can be also said that Tina covered 9 yards less than Jack.

    if Jack covered X yards, then Tina covered X - 9 yards

    Now

    Distance covered by Anna = X + 5 yards

    Distance covered by Tina = X - 9 yards

    It can be seen that Anna covered more distance than Tina as X + 5 is greater tha X - 9

    Difference in distance covered by Tina and anna is

    = Distance covered by Anna - Distance covered by Tina

    = X + 5 yards - (X - 9) yards

    = X + 5 - X + 9 yards

    = 14 yards

    Therefore Anna was 14 yards ahead of Tina.
