A is twice fast as B and B is thrice fast as C is. The journey covered by C in $$\frac{3}{2}$$ hours will be covered by A is:
A. 15 minutes
B. 20 minutes
C. 30 minutes
D. 1 hour
Answer: Option A
Solution (By Examveda Team)
Let speed of C = X Then Speed of B = 3X Then Speed of A = 6X Ratio of the speed of A and C = 1 : 6 So, Greater the speed less time taken in journey. C’s speed is 6 times less than A So A will take $$\frac{1}{6}$$ of the total time taken C to covered same distance. So, Time taken by A$$\eqalign{ & = \frac{3}{{2 \times 6}} \cr & = \frac{1}{4}\,\,{\text{hours}} \cr & = 15\,\,{\text{minutes}} \cr} $$
