Two sprinters race on a 200-meter straight track. The ratio of their speeds is 4 : 5. When the winner crosses the finish line, how far away from the tape is the slower sprinter?
A. 60 meters
B. 30 meters
C. 50 meters
D. 40 meters
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The faster sprinter covers 5 parts = 200 meters, so 1 part = 40 meters. In that same timeframe, the slower sprinter covers 4 parts = 4 * 40 = 160 meters. Distance remaining for the slower sprinter = 200 - 160 = 40 meters.
Excluding regular route passenger stops, the speed of an express coach is 64 km/h and including stops it is 48 km/h. For how many minutes does the coach stop per hour?
