Two trains A and B travel from points X to Y and the ratio of the speeds of A to that of B is 2 : 7. Find the ratio of time taken by A and B to reach from X to Y

A) 2 : 5
B) 3 : 5
C) 3 : 8
D) 7 : 2

Correct Answer:




D) 7 : 2

Description for Correct answer:

Speed is inversely proportional to time,

Given that (speed of A): (Speed of B ) = 2 : 7

(Time taken by A):( Time taken by B)
= \( \Large \frac{1}{2} : \frac{1}{7} = 7 : 2\)
