Train P crosses a pole in 30 seconds and train Q crosses the same pole in one minute and 15 seconds. The length of train P is three-fourths the length of train Q. What is the ratio of the speed of train P to that of train Q?
Answers:
A) 15 : 8	B) 15 : 9	C) 15 : 5	D) 15 : 2	E) 15 : 1
Given that train P crosses a pole in 30 seconds and train Q crosses the same pole in one minute and 15 seconds.   Let the length of train P be LP and that of train Q be LQ   given that LP = 3/4 LQ   15 : 8s the train P and Q crosses the pole in 30 seconds and 75 seconds respectively,   =&gt; Speed of train P = VP = LP/30   Speed of train Q = VQ = LQ/75   LP = 3/4 LQ   =&gt; VP = 3/4 LQ/(30) = LQ/40   Ratio of their speeds = VP : VQ   = LQ/40 : LQ/75 =&gt; 1/40 : 1/75 = 15 : 8   15 : 8nswer: 15 : 8
