A is twice as fast runner as B, and B is thrice as fast runner as C. If C travelled a distance in 1 hour 54 minutes, the time taken by B to cover the same distance is
-
- 19 minutes
- 38 minutes
- 51 minutes
- 57 minutes
Correct Option: B
Ratio of the speed of A and B
= A : B = 2 : 1 = 6 : 3
B : C = 3 : 1
∴ A : B : C = 6 : 3 : 1
∴ Ratio of their time taken
= | : | : 1 = 1 : 2 : 6 | ||
6 | 3 |
∴ Time taken by B = | × 114 | minutes | |||
6 |
= 38 minutes
