Question #1
The speed of two luxury sedans are in the ratio 6 : 7. If car A takes 2.1 hours to cover a specific lap distance, find the time taken by car B.
A. 2.2 hours
B. 1.8 hours
C. 2.0 hours
D. 1.5 hours

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Ratio of speeds A:B = 6:7, so ratio of times taken A:B = 7:6. Given 7 parts = 2.1 hours for car A => 1 part = 0.3 hours. Time taken by car B = 6 parts = 6 * 0.3 = 1.8 hours.

The speed indices of two sprinters are in the ratio 3 : 4. If the first sprinter requires 24 seconds to wrap up a bend, how much time does the second sprinter require?
A. 20 seconds
B. 22 seconds
C. 16 seconds
D. 18 seconds

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Ratio of speeds = 3:4, so ratio of times required = 4:3. Given 4 parts = 24 seconds => 1 part = 6 seconds. Time for the second sprinter = 3 parts = 3 * 6 = 18 seconds.
