Question

If a bus travels 160 km in 4 hours and a train travels 320 km in 5 hours at uniform speeds, then what is the ratio of the distances travelled by them in one hour?

• A. 8 : 5
• B. 5 : 8
• C. 4 : 5
• D. 1 : 2

Answer 1

The correct option is B 5 : 8

Distance traveled by Bus in $4$ hours $=160km$

Distance traveled by Bus in $1$ hours $d=\frac{160}{4}\Rightarrow 40km$

Distance traveled by Train in $5$ hours $=320km$

Distance traveled by Train in $1$ hours $D=\frac{320}{5}\Rightarrow 64km$

Now,

The required ratio $=d:D\Rightarrow 40:64\Rightarrow 5:8.$
