Question

The speed of two cars A and B are in the ratio of 13:17 respectively. Car A travels 16 km less than the car B in the same time duration. What was the distance (in km) travelled by the car B during that time?

A 68 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B 57 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C 85 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D 76 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

Let the speed of car A = 13x km/h and the speed of car B = 17x km/h. Here the time is constant. According to question, => 17x – 13x = 16 => 4x = 16 => x = 4 Distance travelled by car B = 17 × 4 = 68 km
