    Question

    The ratio of the speeds of Y and Z is 7 : 5. When Y

    increases his speed by 40%, he covers 294 km in 3 hours. Find the time taken by Z 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 = (294/3) = 98 km/hr
    So, actual speed of Y = 98 ÷ 1.40 = 70 km/hr
    Or, speed of Z = 70 × (5/7) = 50 km/hr
    Therefore, required time = (200/50) = 4 hours
