The winning relay team in a high school sports competition clocked 48 minutes for a distance of 13.2 km. Its runners A, B, C and D maintained speeds of 18 kmph, 19 kmph, 20 kmph, and 21 kmph respectively. What is the ratio of the time taken by B to than taken by D?
[ "9:8", "None of these", "5:17", "8:9" ]
B
Explanation : Since it is a relay race, all the runners ran the same distance. Hence for a same distance, (ratio of times) = 1/(ratio of speeds). Hence ratio of times taken by B t& D = 21 : 19 Answer : E

[ "m/5", "6m/5", "4m", "6m" ]
D
17m - n = p Add n to both sides: 17m = n + p Add m to both sides: 18m = n + p + m Now, divide both sides by 3 6m = (n + p + m)/3 = the average of n, p, and m C
