A bus covers some distance at a certain speed. If a person covers one-third of that distance in triple time, then the ratio of the speed of the person to the speed of the bus is:A. 1 : 3B. 3 : 1C. 1 : 9D. 9 : 11. B2. D3. A4. C

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : C

Given:

The time required to cover one-third of distance in triple time

Formula used:

Speed = Distance/Time

Calculation:

Let the distance, D covered by the bus in time, T with speed, S

⇒ Speed of bus, S1 = D/T      ----(1)

According to question

Speed of person, S2 = (D/3)/(3T)

⇒ S2 = D/9T      ----(2)

Divide equation (2) by (1)

⇒ S2/S1 =(D/9T)/(D/T)

⇒ S2/S1 = 1/9

⇒ S2 : S1 = 1 : 9

∴ The ratio of the speed of the person to the speed of the bus is 1 : 9
