The ratio of the speeds of A, B and C is 2 : 3 : 6 respectively. What is the ratio of the time taken by A, B and C respectively to cover the same distance?

a

2 : 3 : 6

b

6 : 3 : 2

c

3 : 2 : 1

d

1 : 2 : 3

Answer : Option C
Explanation :

Time α1 Speed alpha frac{1}{ ext { Speed }}

∴ Ratio of speeds = 2 : 3 : 6

Rightarrow Ratio of time taken =12:13:16=frac{1}{2}: frac{1}{3}: frac{1}{6}

=(12×6):(13×6):(16×6)=left(frac{1}{2} imes 6 ight):left(frac{1}{3} imes 6 ight):left(frac{1}{6} imes 6 ight)

[LCM of 2,3 and 6=6]=3:2:16=6]=3: 2: 1
