A truck covers a distance of 550 metres in one minute where as a bus covers a distance of 33 km in 3/4 hours. Then the ratio of their speeds is
Distance covered by truck in 1 minute = 550 m = $$\frac{550}{1000}=\frac{11}{20}$$ km
Time taken by bus = $$\frac{3}{4} \times 60=45$$ minutes
Distance covered by bus in 45 minutes = 33 km
Thus, distance covered in 1 minute = $$\frac{33}{45}=\frac{11}{15}$$ km
$$\therefore$$ Ratio of speeds of trucks and bus
= $$\frac{11}{20} \div \frac{11}{15}$$
=Â $$\frac{11}{20} \times \frac{15}{11}=\frac{15}{20}$$
= $$\frac{3}{4}$$ = 3Â : 4
