Question

A dog ran to catch a hare. The time in which the dog jumps 5 times, the hare jumps 6 times. But 3 jumps of the dog is equal to the 5 jumps of the hare.Find the ratio of their speeds.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the distance covered in 1 leap of the dog be x and that covered in 1 leap of the hare by y. Then , 3x = 4y x = 4y/3 4x = 16y/3 Ratio of speeds of dog and hare = Ratio of distances covered by them in the same time = 4x : 5y = 16/3 y : 5y =16/3 : 5 = 16:15Read more on Sarthaks.com - https://www.sarthaks.com/446313/dog-takes-leaps-for-every-leaps-hare-but-leaps-dog-are-equal-leaps-hare-compare-their-speeds
