(a) 3 : 5
(b) 3 : 4
(c) 50 : 3
(d) 4 : 3
The correct answers to the above question in:
Answer: (b)
Using Rule 1,
Speed of truck = 550m/minute
Speed of bus = $33000/45$ m/minute
or $2200/3$ m/minute
Required ratio = 550 : $2200/3$
= $1 : 4/3 = 3 : 4$

Question : 1
The speed of two trains are in the ratio 6 : 7. If the second train runs 364 km in 4 hours, then the speed of first train is
a) 72 km/hr
b) 78 km/hr
c) 84 km/hr
d) 60 km/hr
Answer »Answer: (b)
Using Rule 1,Distance = Speed × TimeSpeed = $\text"Distance"/\text"Time"$ , Time = $\text"Distance"/\text"Speed"$1 m/s = $18/5$ km/h, 1 km/h = $5/18$ m/s
Speed of second train
= $364/4$ = 91 kmph
7x ≡ 91
6x ≡ $91/{7x}$ × 6x ≡ 78 kmph
Question : 2
The speeds of three cars are in the ratio of 1 : 3 : 5. The ratio among the time taken by these cars to travel the same distance is
a) 15 : 3 : 5
b) 15 : 5 : 3
c) 5 : 3 : 1
d) 3 : 5 : 15
Answer »Answer: (d)
Speed ∝ $1/\text"Time"$
Required ratio of time
= $1 : 1/3 : 1/5$
= 15 : $1/3 × 15 : 1/5 × 15$
= 15 : 5 : 3
Question : 3
It takes 8 hours for a 600 km journey, if 120 km is done by train and the rest by car. It takes 20 minutes more if 200 km is done by train and the rest by car. The ratio of the speed of the train to that of the car is
a) 3 : 2
b) 3 : 4
c) 4 : 3
d) 2 : 3
Answer »Answer: (b)
Using Rule 1,
Speed of train = x kmph
Speed of car = y kmph
Case I,
$120/x + {600 - 120}/y$ = 8
$120/x + 480/y$ = 8
$15/x + 60/y$ = 1 ...(i)
Case II,
$200/x + 400/y$ = 8 hours 20 minutes
$200/x + 400/y = 8{1}/3$ hours = $25/3$
$8/x + 16/y = 1/3$
$24/x + 48/y$ = 1 ...(ii)
$15/x + 60/y = 24/x + 48/y$
$24/x - 15/x = 60/y - 48/y$
$9/x = 12/y$
$x/y = 9/12 = 3/4$ = 3 : 4
Question : 4
A car travels 80 km. in 2 hours and a train travels 180 km. in 3 hours. The ratio of the speed of the car to that of the train is :
a) 3 : 2
b) 3 : 4
c) 4 : 3
d) 2 : 3
Answer »Answer: (d)
Speed = $\text"Distance"/ \text"Time"$
∴ Speed of car : Speed of train
= $80/2 : 180/3$ = 40 : 60 = 2 : 3
