Distance traveled by Eddy = 600 km\nTime taken by Eddy = 3 hours\nAverage speed of Eddy = 600/3 = 200 km/hour\nDistance traveled by Freddy = 460 km\nTime taken by Freddy = 4 hours\nAverage speed of Freddy = 460/4 = 115 km/hour\nRatio of average speed of Eddy to Freddy = 200/115 = 40/23 So the answer is (E).
