The ratio between the speeds of two buses is 5 : 3. If the 1st bus runs 400 km in 8 h, then find the speed of the 2nd bus.

A) 30 km/h
B) 15 km/h
C) 27 km/h
D) 37 km/h

Correct Answer:

A) 30 km/h

Description for Correct answer:
Let speed of 1st bus = 5x

and speed of 2nd bus = 3x

According to the question,

\( \Large 5x = \frac{400}{8} = 50 \)

\( \Large x = \frac{50}{5} = 10 \)

Speed of 2nd bus = \( \Large 3x = 3 \times 10 = 30 km/h \)
