Eddy and Freddy start simultaneously from city A and they travel to City B and City C respectively. Eddy takes 3 hours and Freddy takes 4 hours to complete the journey. If the distance between City A and City B is 900 kms and City A and City C is 300 kms. What is the ratio of their average speed of travel? (Eddy: Freddy)\nOptions:\n(A) 8/3\n(B) 3/8\n(C) 8/5\n(D) 4/1\n(E) 5/3 Now, let's think a bit. Some random thoughts:

Distance traveled by Eddy = 900 km\nTime taken by Eddy = 3 hours\nAverage speed of Eddy = 900/3 = 300 km/hour\nDistance traveled by Freddy = 300 km\nTime taken by Freddy = 4 hours\nAverage speed of Freddy = 300/4 = 75 km/hour\nRatio of average speed of Eddy to Freddy = 300/75 = 4/1
The final answer: (D).
