  • Question
  • 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?


  • Options
  • A. 4:1
  • B. 1.4
  • C. 2:1
  • D. 1:2

  • Correct Answer
  • 4:1 

    Explanation

    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
