Question

A train approaches a tunnel ab. Inside the tunnel a cat located at a point i.E., 2/5 th of the distance measured from the entrance a. When the train whistles, the cat runs. If the cat moves to the entrance of the tunnel a, the train catches the cat exactly at the entrance. If the cat moves to the exit b, the train catches the cat exactly at the exit. What is the ratio of the speed of the train to that of the speed of the cat? (identify what is constant??)
