Question:

Raju covered 200 km in 10 hours. First of all, he started his journey with car at a speed of 25 km/hr and after then a problem occurred in his car. He covered the remaining distance by bike at a speed of 15 km/h. Find the ratio of distance traveled by the bike and car.

Options:

3 : 5

5 : 3

3 : 1 

1 : 3

Correct Answer:

3 : 5

Explanation:

Average speed for the whole trip = \(\frac{200}{10}\) = 20 km/h

Distance  = speed × time

Distance by car = 5 × 25 = 125 km

Distance by bike = 5 × 15 = 75 km

The ratio between bike and car is: 75 : 125 = 3 : 5
