Question
A steamer and a motor boat cover the stretch between a seaport and a dock in 7 hours 20 minutes and 10 hours 40 minutes, respectively. What is the ratio of their speeds?
Solution
T1/T2 = S2/S1 Now, 7 hours 20 minutes and 10 hours 40 minutes = 22/3 hours and 32/3 hours 22/32 = S2/S1 β 11/16 = S2/S1 β S1 : S2 = 16 : 11 β΄ The ratio of their speeds is 16 : 11
