Question

    Ram is four times faster than Shyam, and Shyam is three

    times faster than Shiv. If Shiv covers a certain distance in 3.5 hours, how much time will Ram take to cover the same distance?
    A 24 min Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 17.5 min Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 12.5 min Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 20 min Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the time taken by Shiv to cover a certain distance be ‘x’ hours

    Therefore, Shyam will cover the same distance in (x/3) hours

    Ram will cover the same distance in {x/(3 ×4)} = x/12 hours

    Here, x = 3.5

    Therefore, time taken by Ram to cover the same distance = (3.5/12) × 60 = 17.5 minutes
