Question #3
The speeds of two cars are in the ratio 5 : 3. If they cover the same total distance, and the slower car takes 2.5 hours, how much time does the faster car take?
A. 2.0 hours
B. 1.8 hours
C. 1.2 hours
D. 1.5 hours

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Ratio of speeds = 5:3, so ratio of times taken = 3:5. The slower car corresponds to 5 parts = 2.5 hours => 1 part = 0.5 hours. Time for the faster car = 3 parts = 3 * 0.5 = 1.5 hours.
