A certain distance is covered at a certain speed. If half of the distance is covered in double time, the ratio of the two speeds is .

1. 4 : 1
2. 1 : 4
3. 1 : 2
4. 2 : 1

Correct Option: A

Let L km distance be covered in T h. So, speed in first case = L/T km/h.
And speed in second case = (L/2)/2T = L/4T km/h
∴ Required ratio = L/T : L/4T =1 : 1/4 = 4 : 1
