Q: A car covers a distance of 200 km in 2 h 40 min whereas a jeep covers the same distance in 2 h. What is the ratio of their speeds?

Speed of car = Distance/Time = 200/240/60 = 600/8 = 75 km/h Speed of jeep = 200/2 = 100 km/h ∴ Required ratio = 75/100 = 3/4 3 : 4

3 : 4
4 : 3
4 : 5
5 : 4

Correct Answer: 3 : 4

Explanation:

Speed of car = Distance/Time = 200/2⁴⁰/₆₀
= 600/8 = 75 km/h
Speed of jeep = 200/2 = 100 km/h
∴ Required ratio = 75/100 = 3/4 3 : 4
