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 3 hours to complete the journey. If the distance between City A and City B is 600 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) 2/1\n(B) 3/8\n(C) 8/5\n(D) 5/8\n(E) 5/3 Stream of consciousness first, then make a decision:
User
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 = 300 km\nTime taken by Freddy = 3 hours\nAverage speed of Freddy = 300/3 = 100 km/hour\nRatio of average speed of Eddy to Freddy = 200/100 = 2/1
Thus, the answer is (A).
