A truck covers a distance of 550 metres in 1 minute whereas a train covers a distance of 33 kms in 45 minutes. What is the ratio of their speed?

Answer»

3 : 4



SPEED of the truck = Distance/Time=550/1=550 meters/minute
Speed of the TRAIN = Distance/Time=33/45 km/minute = 33000/45 meters/minut
Speed of the truck/Speed of the train = 550/(33000/45) = (550 × 45)/33000 = (55 × 45)/3300
= (11 × 45)/660 = (11×9)/132 = 9/12 = 34
Hence, Speed of the truck : Speed of the train = 3 : 4
