Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 54 min Given: A is twice as fast as B, B is thrice as fast as C. A covered journey in 9 minutes Formula Used: Speed = Distance/Time Calculation: According to the question, ⇒ A = 2B and B = 3C Let speed of C be 1 unit per min. Speed of B will be, ⇒ 3 × 1 unit per min. ⇒ 3 units per min. Speed of A will be, ⇒ 2 × 3 units per min. ⇒ 6 units per min. A required 9 minutes to cover the distance, ⇒ Distance = 6 × 9 = 54 units. C will cover 54 units in, ⇒ 54/1 ⇒ 54 minutes. ∴ C will take 54 min. to cover the distance. |
