Speed of truck = 550 metre 60 second = 55 m./sec. 6 Speed of bus = 33 × 1000 metre 3 × 60 × 60 second 4 = 440 m./sec. 36 ∴ Required ratio = 55 : 440 6 36
= 55 × 6 : 440
= 3 : 4Correct Option: C

Let the speed of train be x kmph. and the speed of car be y kmph.
Time = Distance Speed
According to the question,120 + 480 = 8 x y ⇒ 15 + 60 = 1 .....(i) x y and, 200 + 400 = 25 x y 3 ⇒ 8 + 16 = 1 x y 3 ⇒ 24 + 48 = 1 .....(ii) x y
From equations (i) and (ii),⇒ 24 + 48 = 15 + 60 x y x y ⇒ 24 − 15 = 60 − 48 x x y y ⇒ 9 = 12 x y ⇒ x = 9 = 3 = 3 : 4 y 12 4 Correct Option: B
