Question:

The ratio between the speeds of two trains is $5: 6$. If the second train covers 600 km in 5 hours, then what is the speed of the first train in km/h ?

Options:

70

100

150

200

Correct Answer:

100

Explanation:

The ratio between the speeds of two trains is 5:6. If the second train covers 600 km in 5 hours, then what is the speed of the first train in km/h ?

Ratio of speeds of two trains is 5 : 6

We know that, Speed = D/t

D = Distance

t = time

Let speed of the trains be 5x and 6x

So, 6x = 600/5 = 120

Now, 5x = 120 × 5/6 = 100km/h
