Question

    The speeds of Arun and Bhanu are

    in the ratio of 3:4, respectively. Both begin their journey simultaneously to cover a distance of 13.5 km. Bhanu completes the distance 15 minutes earlier than Arun. Determine Arun's speed.
    A 35 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 25 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 15.5 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 13.5 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the speed of Arun and Bhanu be 3x km/hr and 4x km/hr, respectively. So, time taken by Arun and Bhanu be 4x hour and 3x hour, respectively. 4x – 3x = 15/60 x = 0.25 So, time taken by Arun = 4x = 1 hour Distance = 13.5 km Required speed of Arun = 13.5 km/hr
