Question

A truck covers a distance of 550 metres in 1 minute whereas a train covers a distance of 33 kms in 45 minutes. What is the ratio of their speed?
Options:
A .  2 : 1
B .  1 : 2
C .  4 : 3
D .  3 : 4
Answer: Option D

Answer : Option D

Explanation :

$MF#%\begin{align}&\text{Speed of the truck = }\dfrac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} = \dfrac{550}{1} = 550\text{ meters/minute}\\\\
&\text{Speed of the train = }\dfrac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} = \dfrac{33}{45}\text{ km/minute = }\dfrac{33000}{45}\text{ meters/minute}\\\\
&\dfrac{\text{Speed of the truck}}{\text{Speed of the train}} = \dfrac{550}{\left(\dfrac{33000}{45}\right)} = \dfrac{550 \times 45}{33000} = \dfrac{55 \times 45}{3300}\\\\
&= \dfrac{11\times 45}{660} = \dfrac{11\times 9}{132} = \dfrac{9}{12} = \dfrac{3}{4}\end{align} $MF#%

Hence, Speed of the truck : Speed of the train = 3 : 4
