A certain distance is covered at a certain speed. If half of this distance is covered in double the time, the ratio of the two speed is?

Question

Accepted Answer

Let x km . be covered in y hrs.
then, 1st speed = (x / y) km/hr.
2nd speed = [(x/2) / 2y)] km/hr.
= (x/4y) km/hr.
∴ Ratio of speed = x/y : x/4y = 1 :1/4 = 4: 1

A certain distance is covered at a certain speed. If half of this distance is covered in double the time, the ratio of the two speed is?
