Practicing Success
A certain distance is covered by a cyclist at a certain speed. If a jogger covers one third of the distance in four times of the time. The ratio of speed of the jogger to that of the cyclist is: |
1 : 12 1 : 10 10 : 1 12 : 1 |
1 : 12 |
Let the distance covered by the cyclist is d and the time taken to cover the distance is T. So, ATQ, The speed of the cyclist (S1) = \(\frac{d}{T}\) Now, the speed of the jogger (S2) = \(\frac{\frac{d}{3}}{4T}\) = \(\frac{d}{12T}\) ⇒ S2 : S1 = \(\frac{d}{12T}\) : \(\frac{d}{T}\) ⇒ S2 : S1 = 1 : 12 |
