Multiple choice

Distance between two points A and B is 110 km. Manoj starts running from A at a speed of 60 km/hr and Ravi starts running from B at a speed of 40 km/hr at same time. They meet at a point X, somewhere on the line AB. What is ratio of AX to BX?

  1. 3 : 2

  2. 2 : 3

  3. 2 : 1

  4. 1 : 2

A Correct answer
Explanation

Since they start at the same time and meet at point X, the time taken by both is the same. The ratio of distances covered is equal to the ratio of their speeds: 60/40 = 3/2.

AI explanation

Since Manoj and Ravi run for the same amount of time until they meet, the ratio of the distances they cover is directly proportional to the ratio of their speeds. Manoj's speed is 60 km/hr and Ravi's speed is 40 km/hr, making the ratio of their speeds 60 : 40. Therefore, the ratio of the distance AX to BX is 3 : 2.
