Four students A, B, C and D are running around a circular playground in a college and they take 1. 5 min, 25min, 35min and 20min respectively to complete one round. If a prize money of Rs. K is divided in the ratio of their speeds, then the student who receives_maximum share is
Let say, distance cover by them in the playground is d.
So, Speed of A,B,C and D are
(d/1.5),(d/25),(d/35) and (d/20).
So,they will receive money in following ratio:
(d/1.5):(d/25):(d/35):(d/20)
=(1/1.5):(1/25):(1/35):(1/20)
=(2100/1.5):(2100/25):(2100/35):(2100/20)
=1400:84:60:105.
So,
A will get=1400K/1649.
B will get=84K/1649.
C will get=60K/1649.
D will get=105K/1649.
So, A will get maximum amount.
A is correct choice.
