Question
The ratio of the speeds of Priya and Diya is 6:5 respectively. Sneha can cover 720 km in 12 hours. If the speed of Diya is 20% less than that of Sneha, how much time will Priya take to cover a distance of 576 km?
Solution
ATQ,
Speed of Sneha = 720/12 = 60 km/hr
So, speed of Diya = 0.8 × 60 = 48 km/hr
Therefore, speed of Priya = (6/5) × 48 = 57.6 km/hr
Therefore, required time = 576/57.6 = 10 hours
