    Question

    Car A is twice as fast as car B, and car B is thrice as fast as car C. The distance covered by car C in 60 minutes will be covered by car B in:

    A.

    25 minutes

    B.

    16 minutes

    C.

    20 minutes

    D.

    18 minutes

    Correct option is C

    Given:
    Car A is twice as fast as car B, and car B is thrice as fast as car C.
    The distance covered by car C in 60 minutes
    Formula Used :

    Speed=DistanceTime Speed1TimeSpeed = \frac{Distance}{Time } \\ \ \\ Speed ∝ \frac{1}{Time}​​
    Solution:
    Car A is twice as fast as car B, and car B is thrice as fast as car C.
    => A = 2B
    => B = 3C
    Speed ratio of A : B : C
    AB=21   &   BC=31\frac{A}B = \frac{2}1 \ \ \ \& \ \ \ \frac{B}C = \frac{3}1​​
    => A : B : C = (2 × 3) : (1 × 3) : (1 × 1)
    => A : B : C = 6 : 3 : 1
    Time is inversely proportional to the speed, Then time ratio
    => A : B : C = 16:13:11\frac{1}6 : \frac{1}3 : \frac{1}1​ ----(1)
    Multiply by LCM 6 of the denominator (6, 3, 1) in the above equation (1)
    => A : B : C = 1 : 2 : 6
    According to the question, The distance covered by car C in 60 minutes
    => 6 unit → 60 min
    => 1 unit → 10 min
    Car B has taken covered the same distance in
    => 2 unit → 2 × 10
    => 20 min
