    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
