Question

A bus cover 320 km distance in 5 hours, and speed of a car 3/8 of the speed of bus. Find the ratio of distance cover by bus in 6 hours to distance cover by car in five hours?

A.

16:7

B.

16:5

C.

16:9

D.

5:16

E.

17:5

Correct option is B

Information Given:

Bus covers 320 km in 5 hours

Speed of car is 3/8 of speed of bus

Find ratio: (distance covered by bus in 6 hours) / (distance covered by car in 5 hours)

Concept/Formula Used:

Speed = Distance/Time

Distance covered = Speed × Time

Explanation:

Speed of bus = 320/5 = 64 km/hr

Distance covered by bus in 6 hours = 64 × 6 = 384 km

Speed of car = 3/8 × 64 = 24 km/hr

Distance covered by car in 5 hours = 24 × 5 = 120 km

Required ratio = 384/120 = 32/10 = 16 : 5
