    Question

    The speed of three bikes is in the ratio of 3 : 4 : 5. The ratio of the time taken by these bikes to travel the same distance is:

    A.

    20 : 15 : 12

    B.

    20 : 17 : 12

    C.

    20 : 15 : 17

    D.

    20 : 15 : 13

    Correct option is A

    Given:

    The ratio of the speeds of three bikes = 3 : 4 : 5
    We are to find the ratio of the time taken to cover the same distance.

    Formula Used:
    Time ∝ 1 Speed\frac{1 }{\text{ Speed}}​​
    So, Time Ratio = Inverse of Speed Ratio

    Solution:
    Speed ratio = 3 : 4 : 5
    Time ratio = 13:14:15\frac 13 : \frac 14 : \frac 15​​
    take LCM of denominators (3, 4, 5) = 60
    Time ratio =603:604:605 \frac{60}3 : \frac{60}4 : \frac{60}5 ​= 20 : 15 : 12
