Question

Ram can type 50 words per minute. If the ratio of words typed per minute by Rahul and Ram is 3 : 2,

then Rahul can type ___ words per minute.

• A. 25
• B. 65
• C. 100
• D. 45

Answer 1

The correct option is A 25

Let the number of words typed by Rahul be 3x and those typed by Ram be 2x

2x = 50 (given)

$\Rightarrow$ x = $\frac{50}{2}$ = 25

$\Rightarrow$ 3x = 3$\times$25 = 75

$\therefore$ Rahul can type 75 words per minute.
