  • Question
  • The ratio between the rates of travelling of A and B is 2:3 and therefore A takes 10 min. more than the time taken by B to reach a destination, if A had walked at double the speed, he would have covered the distance in?


  • Options
  • A. 30 min
  • B. 25 min
  • C. 15 min
  • D. 20 Min

  • Correct Answer
  • 15 min 

    Explanation

    Ratio of times taken by A and B = 1/2 : 1/3

    Suppose B takes Tb min. Then A takes (Tb + 10) min.
    ? (Tb + 10 ) : Tb = 1/2: 1/3
    ? (Tb + 10)/Tb = 3 / 2
    ? 2Tb + 20 = 3Tb
    ? Tb = 20

    ? Time taken by A = 20 +10
    = 30 minute

    If A had walked at double speed
    Req . time = 30/2
    =15 minute
