Question

The speeds of three cars are in the ratio 2: 3: 4. The ratio between the times taken by these cars to travel the same distance is ___________.

• A. 6: 4: 3
• B. 2: 4: 3
• C. 2: 4: 6
• D. 2: 5: 6

Answer 1

The correct option is A

6: 4: 3

The ratio of time would be such that speed $\times$ time would be constant for all three.

Thus, if you take the speeds as 2x, 3x and 4x respectively, the times would be 6y, 4y and 3y respectively.

Therefore, the ratio between the times taken by these cars to travel the same distance is 6: 4: 3
