Correct Answer: 25 : 16


Solution : Given, H to K = 6:30 pm at 90 km/hr
K to H = 7: 30 pm at 72 km/hr
J = 11: 30 pm
The time between 6:30 pm and 11:30 pm = 5 hours
⇒ Distance between point H and J = 90 × 5 = 450 km
The time between 7:30 pm and 11:30 pm = 4 hours
⇒ Distance between points K and J = 72 × 4 = 288 km
$\therefore$ Ratio of distance HJ and KJ = 450 : 288 = 25 : 16
Hence, the correct answer is 25 : 16.
