A is twice as fast as B and B is thrice as fact as C is . The journey covered by C in 42 minute, will be covered by A in?
Correct Answer: 7 min
Explanation:
Let C' s speed = x km/hr.
Then, B's speed = 3x km/hr.
and A's speed = 6x km/hr. ∴ Ratio of speed of A, B, C
= 6x : 3x : x = 6 : 3 : 1 Ratio of times taken = 1/6 : 1/3 : 1 or 1 : 2 : 6 ∵ 6 : 1 : : 42 : t
⇒ 6t = 42
⇒ t = 7 min.
