  • Question
  • Two trains A and B travel from points X to Y and the ratio of the speeds of A to that of B is 2 : 7. Find the ratio of time taken by A and B to reach From X to Y.


  • Options
  • A. 2 : 5
  • B. 3 : 5
  • C. 3 : 8
  • D. 7 : 2

  • Correct Answer
  • 7 : 2 

    Explanation

    We know that speed is inversely proportional to time.

    ?(Time taken by A ) : (Time taken by B ) = 1/2 : 1/7 = 7 : 2
