The ratio between the speeds of two cars is 4 : 5. If the first car covers a distance of 320 km in 4 hours, what is the speed of the second car?
A. 100 km/h
B. 90 km/h
C. 80 km/h
D. 110 km/h
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Speed of first car = 320 / 4 = 80 km/h. Ratio of speeds is 4:5, so 4 parts = 80 km/h => 1 part = 20 km/h. Speed of second car = 5 parts = 5 * 20 = 100 km/h.
