Question

THE RATIO OF SPEED OF TWO VEHICLES IS 2:3.IF THE FIRST VEHICLE COVERS 50 KM IN 3 HOURS,WHAT DISTANCE WOULD THE SECOND VEHICLE COVERS IN 2 HOURS?

Answer 1

Hey


Let the speed of two vehicles be 2x and 3x respectively .



Now ,


Distance covered by first vehicle = 50 km


Time taken by first vehicle = 3 hours .


Now ,


Speed of first vehicle =


distance / time


= 50 / 3 hours


A / q


2x = 50 / 3


=> x = 25 / 3



NoTe :- We have assumed as the speed of first vehicle be 2x .


Now ,


Speed of second vehicle

= 3x


putting the value of x , we get


= 3 * 25 / 2


= 75 / 2


So ,


Distance covered by second vehicle in 2 hours


= Speed * time


= 75 / 2 * 2


= 75 km



thanks :)
