Question

    The ratio of the speed of car to that of a train is 15:22. If the speed of the train is 35 Km/hr more than that of the car, what is the speed of the car?

    A 75 Km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 85 Km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 80 Km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 65 Km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the speed of car and train be 15x & 22x respectively. According to the question, 22 x - 15x = 35 ⇒ 7x = 35 ⇒ x = 5km/hr ∴ Speed of the car = 15x = 15 × 5 = 75 km/hr.
