Question

If a bus travels 160 km in 4 hours and a train travels 320 km in 5 hours at uniform speeds, then what is the ratio of the distances travelled by them in one hour ? 

(a) 8 : 5 (b) 5 : 8 (c) 4 : 5 (d) 1 : 2

Answer 1

(b) Distance covered by a bus in 4 hours = 160 km.

∴ Distance covered by a bus in 1 hour 160/4 = 40 KM

Further, Distance covered by a train in 5 hours = 320 km

∴ Distance covered by a train in 1 hour = 320/5 =64 km
