  • Question
  • A certain distance is covered at a certain speed. If half of the distance is covered in double time, the ratio of the two speeds is .


  • Options
  • A. 4 : 1
  • B. 1 : 4
  • C. 1 : 2
  • D. 2 : 1

  • Correct Answer
  • 4 : 1 

    Explanation

    Let L km distance be covered in T h. So, speed in first case = L/T km/h.
    And speed in second case = (L/2)/2T = L/4T km/h
    ? Required ratio = L/T : L/4T =1 : 1/4 = 4 : 1
