Question
Two trains start simultaneously. The first train moves from Jammu to Tawi, whereas the second train moves from Tawi to Jammu. After they meet at a point in between, they respectively take 4 hours and 9 hours to reach their destinations. What is the ratio of their speeds?
A
${3/2}$.
B
${5/2}$.
C
${7/2}$.
D
${9/4}$.
Soln.
Ans: a
Ans: a
If they take $t_1 and t_2$ hours respectively to reach their destinations, then the ratio of their speeds is $√t_2 : √t_1$. So we get $√9 : √4$, which gives 3 : 2, or ${3/2}$.
