A person sets out to cycle from A to B and at the same time another person starts from B to A. After passing each other, they complete their journeys in 16 h and 25 h, respectively. Find the ratio of speeds of the 1st man to that of the 2 nd man.
Correct Answer: 5 : 4
Explanation:
Given, x = 16 and Y = 25
According to the formula,
1st man's speed : 2nd man's speed = √ y : √ x = √ 25 : √ 16 = 5 : 4
