      Question

      The ratio of the speeds of Train A, Train B, and Train C

      is 3:5:7 respectively. Train D moves 6 km/hr slower than Train B. If the difference between Train C and Train A’s speed is 48 km/hr, what is the ratio of speed of Train B to Train D?
      A 5:4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 11:9 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 10:9 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 9:10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let speeds be 3x, 5x, and 7x respectively. 
      So, Train D’s speed = 5x - 6
      ATQ, 
      7x - 3x = 48 
      Or, 4x = 48 
      Or, x = 12
      Train B = 5 × 12 = 60 
      Train D = 60 - 6 = 54
      Required ratio = 60:54 = 10:9
