Solution: (GB wbq‡gi cÖPzi AsK wewfbœ cixÿvq G‡m _v‡K)
Suppose, the distance between Meerut and Ghaziabad is x km.
Time taken by X to cover x km = 5-4 = 1 hr and time taken by Y to cover x km 1.5 =

simultaneously. After they meet, the trains reach their destinations after 9 hours and 16
hours respectively. The ratio of their speeds is : [Examveda.com] +[Aggarwal-67]
(a) 2 : 3 (b) 4 : 3 (c) 6 : 7 (d) 9:16 Ans: b
Solution:
Let us name the trains as A and B. Then,
(A's speed): (B's speed) = b : a = 16 : 9 = 4 : 3 (G¸‡jv MCQ cÖ‡kœ mivmwi m~Î cÖ‡qvM)
