    Question

    The speed ratio of Y : Z is 3 : 2. After increasing his

    speed by 50%, Y covers 270 km in 3 hours. How much time will Z take to cover 200 km?
    A 3 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 4 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 8 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 5 hrs Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Increased speed of Y = (270/3) = 90 km/hr
    So, actual speed of Y = 90 ÷ 1.50 = 60 km/hr
    Or, speed of Z = 60 × (2/3) = 40 km/hr
    Therefore, required time = (200/40) = 5 hours
