DIRECTIONS for the question: Solve the following question and mark the best possible option.
A person is covering certain distance in some time on his car. If a biker is covering double the distance in half the time, then what will be the ratio of the time taken by the two to cover a distance of 1 km?
A)
1 : 2
B)
4 : 1
C)
1 : 4
D)
2 : 1
B
Since the biker can cover double the distance in half the time, thus he can cover single distance in 1/4th of the original time.
Thus, the ratio of the time taken by the person and the biker is T : T/4 = 4 : 1.
