Question

Kartik started from P to Q and Ayush from Q to P. If the distance between P and Q is 225 km and they meet at 120 km from P, what is the ratio of Ayush’s speed to that of Kartik’s speed?
1. 8 : 7
2. 7 : 8
3. 4 : 3
4. 5 : 4

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : 7 : 8

Given:

(i) Distance between P and Q = 225 km

(ii) They meet at = 120 km from P

Calculations:

Ayush’s Speed : Kartik’s Speed

⇒ (225 - 120) : 120

⇒ 105 : 120

⇒ 7 : 8

The ratio of Ayush’s speed to that of Kartik’s speed is 7 : 8.
