1. Question:–

   The speeds of three cars are in the ratio 2:3:4. What is the ratio between the times taken by these cars to travel the same distance?

   Answer:–

   => Speed is always inversely proportional to time,

   i.e., s ∝ 1/t

   ∴ Ratio of times takes = 1/2:1/3:1/4

   =1/2×12 ; 1/3×12 ; 1/4×12

   =6:4:3

   HOPE will be helpful ☺️
