Distance covered on the first day = 4 × 70 = 56 km 5
∴ Required ratio = 42 : 56 = 3 : 4Correct Option: C
Distance covered on the first day = 4 × 70 = 56 km 5
∴ Required ratio = 42 : 56 = 3 : 4

Required ratio = 1 : 2 : 3 3 2 1 = 1 : 1 : 3 3 1 × 3 : 1 × 3 : 3 × 3 3 ∴ Speed = Distance Time
= 1 : 3 : 9Correct Option: B
Required ratio = 1 : 2 : 3 3 2 1 = 1 : 1 : 3 3 1 × 3 : 1 × 3 : 3 × 3 3 ∴ Speed = Distance Time
= 1 : 3 : 9
