Question : A bus covers a 60-kilometre distance in 1 hour 30 minutes, whereas the same distance is covered by a car in 45 minutes. What is the ratio of the speed of the car to the speed of the bus?
Option 1: 5 : 3
Option 2: 3 : 5
Option 3: 1 : 2
Option 4: 2 : 1
Correct Answer: 2 : 1
Solution : The speed of a vehicle is given by, $\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$ The speed of the bus = $\frac{60}{1.5}$ = 40 km/hour The speed of the car = $\frac{60}{0.75}$ = 80 km/hour The ratio of the speed of the car to the speed of the bus = 80 : 40 = 2 : 1 Hence, the correct answer is 2 : 1.

Question : A bus covers a 50-kilometre distance in 1 hour 15 minutes, whereas the same distance is covered by a car in 45 minutes. What is the ratio of the speed of the bus to the speed of the car?
Question : The speeds of A and B are in the ratio 3 : 5. A takes 30 minutes more than B to reach the destination. In how much time does A reach the destination?
Question : A car can cover a certain distance in $4\frac{1}{2}$ hours. If the speed increases by 5 km/hr, it would take $\frac{1}{2}$ hour less to cover the same distance. Find the slower speed of the car.
Question : A car covers a particular distance in 3 hours with a speed of 54 km/hr. If the speed is increased by 27 km/hr, the time taken by the car to cover the same distance will be:
Question : On a straight road, a bus is 30 km ahead of a car travelling in the same direction. After 3 hours, the car is 60 km ahead of the bus. If the speed of the bus is 42 km/h, then find the speed of the car.
