Question

A Hound pursues a Hare and takes 5 Leaps for every 6 Leaps of the Hare.
But, 4 Leaps of the Hound are equal to 5 Leaps of the Hare.
Compare the speeds of the Hound and the Hare, as a RATIO.

Answer 1

Solution :-

5 Leaps of the hare = 4 Leaps of the hound

Every 6 leaps of the hare, the hound takes 5 leaps.

So, speed of the hare = 6/5

Speed of hound = 5/4

Ratio of speeds of hound and hare = 5/4 : 6/5
= (5/4)/(6/5)
= (5/4)*(5/6)
= 25/24
Ratio of speeds of hound and hare = 25 : 24

Answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

Solution :-

5 Leaps of the hare = 4 Leaps of the hound

Every 6 leaps of the hare, the hound takes 5 leaps.

So, speed of the hare = 6/5

Speed of hound = 5/4

Ratio of speeds of hound and hare = 5/4 : 6/5

= (5/4)/(6/5)

= (5/4)*(5/6)

= 25/24

Ratio of speeds of hound and hare = 25 : 24
