Aptitude:speed and distance [Section 1 of 1] Q10 of 30 Marks 1 General Instructions 100% ×CloseTest time left: 15:00Select the correct answerA certain distance is covered by a cyclist at a certain speed. If a jogger covers half the distance in double the time, the ratio of the speed of the jogger to that of the cyclist is?
Solution
The speed of an object is given by the formula:
Speed = Distance / Time
Given that the jogger covers half the distance in double the time, we can express the speed of the jogger as:
Speed of jogger = (1/2 * Distance) / (2 * Time)
Simplifying this gives:
Speed of jogger = Distance / (4 * Time)
The ratio of the speed of the jogger to that of the cyclist is therefore:
Speed of jogger / Speed of cyclist = (Distance / (4 * Time)) / (Distance / Time)
Simplifying this gives:
Speed of jogger / Speed of cyclist = 1 / 4
So, the ratio of the speed of the jogger to that of the cyclist is 1:4.
