Jansatabdi Express crossed a lamp post in 65 sec and Duranto Express crossed the same post in 30 seconds. If the length of Duranto Express is two-third of that of the Jansatabdi Express, what is the ratio of the speeds of Jansatabdi and Duranto Express? Correct Answer 9 ∶ 13
Given:
Jansatabdi Express crossed a lamppost in 65 sec and Duranto Express crossed the same post in 30 second
The length of Duranto Express is two-third of that of Jansatabdi Express
Formula Used:
Speed = Distance/Time
Calculation:
Let the length of Janasatabdi express be x.
The length of Duranto Express is two-third of Jansatabdi Express = x × 2/3 = 2x/3
Jansatabdi Express crossed a lamppost in 65 sec
⇒ Speed of Janasatabdi Express = x/65 km
Duranto Express crossed the same post in 30 second
⇒ Speed of Duranto Express = 2x/3 × 1/30 = 2x/90 km
∴ Ratio of speed of Janasatabdi and Duranto Express = x/65 : 2x/90 = 9 ∶ 13
