      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 Γ· 1.40 = 70 km/hr
      Or, speed of Z = 70 Γ— (5/7) = 50 km/hr
      Therefore, required time = (200/50) = 4 hours
