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.
