Question

    Neha and Riya start together from point P to point Q.

    The ratio of their speeds is 4:3. If Riya takes 30 minutes more than Neha to reach point Q, find the time Neha takes to reach point Q.
    A 1.5 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 2.5 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 7.5 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 6.5 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Ratio of speeds of Neha : Riya = 4 : 3

    Therefore, ratio of time taken = 3 : 4

    Time difference = 4 - 3 = 1 part

    1 part = 30 minutes = 0.5 hours

    So, Neha's time = 3 parts = 3 × 0.5 = 1.5 hours
