The speeds of three cars are in the ratio 2:3:4. The ratio between the time taken by these cars to cover the same distance is :
Given:
Ratio of speeds of three cars = 2:3:4
Distance covered is the same for all cars.
Formula Used:
Time =
Time is inversely proportional to Speed when Distance is constant.
Solution:
Let the distance be D.
The ratio of their times will be the inverse of the ratio of their speeds:
Time Ratio =
Time Ratio =
Time Ratio = 6 : 4 : 3
Final Answer
So the correct answer is (d)
