    Person 'A' left the college at 7

    PM at 65% of the original speed. After 30 minutes, he reached the grocery store, picked up a bag of vegetables, and then traveled towards his home. If the time taken to travel from home to the college at regular speed is 2 hours, find the ratio of the distance covered by 'A' from the college to the grocery store to the distance covered by 'A' from the grocery store to his home.
    A 53:67 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 11:67 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 13:65 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 13:67 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the speed is 'd' Kmph Distance covered by A from home to College = 2d Km 65% of the original speed, d × (65/100) = 0.65d Distance covered from College to Store = 0.65d × (30/60) = 0.325d Distance covered from Store to home = 2d - 0.325d = 1.675d Required ratio = 0.325d:1.675d = 13:67
