Correct Answer: $1:4$
Solution : Given: A certain distance is covered by a cyclist at a certain speed. If a jogger covers half the distance in double the time. We know the formula, $\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$ Let the cyclist travel at $x$ km/h and the distance to be covered takes $y$ hours. So, the cyclist covered $xy$ km. Jogger's distance travelled is $\frac{xy}{2}$ km. The time is $2y$ hours. The ratio of the speed of the jogger to that of the cyclist is $\frac{xy}{2\times 2y}:x$ or $1:4$ Hence, the correct answer is $1:4$

Question : Vikas covered a certain distance by bike. If he covers 40% of the distance at 40 km/hr, 50% of the distance at 25 km/hr and the remaining 10% distance at 10 km/hr. Find his average speed over the whole distance.
Question : A covered a distance of 240 km at a certain speed. Had his speed been 8 km/hr less, then the time taken would have been one hour more for covering the same distance. How much time (in hours) will he take to cover a distance of 480 km at his original speed?
