Question

Ram covered a distance of 200km in 10 hrs . The first part of his journey is covered by auto ,then he hired a car .The speed of the auto and car is 15 km/hr and 30 km /hr resp. Find the ratio of distance covered by auto and car

Answer 1

Let the distance be covered by auto $X$ in $Y$ time

Then distance covered by car $200-X$ in $10-Y$ time

According to question,$15\times Y=X$ and $30\times (10-Y)=(200-X)$

By solving them we get $Y=6$ $hours$ $40$ $minutes$ ,$10-Y=3$ $hours$ $20$ $minutes$,$X=100km$ and $200-X=100km$

Ratio of distance covered by auto and car $=100:100=1:1$
