Correct Answer: 19 : 17


Solution : Given: The ratio of time taken by A and B to cover a certain distance is 17 : 19.
The ratio of their speeds will be the reciprocal of the time ratio.
Thus, the ratio of the speeds of A and B = $\frac{1}{17} : \frac{1}{19} = 19 : 17$
Hence, the correct answer is 19 : 17.
