एक ट्रेन तीन समान दूरियाँ क्रमशः 4 : 5 : 6 के अनुपात वाली गतियों से तय करती है। पूरी यात्रा के दौरान उसकी औसत गति और न्युनतम गति का अनुपात क्या है?
Detailed Solution & Logic
45 : 37
$4x,\ 5x,\ 6x$
$\text{Average speed}=\dfrac{3}{\dfrac{1}{4x}+\dfrac{1}{5x}+\dfrac{1}{6x}}=\dfrac{3}{\dfrac{15+12+10}{60x}}=\dfrac{180x}{37}$
$\text{Minimum speed}=4x$
$\text{Required ratio}=\dfrac{180x}{37}:4x=180:148=45:37$
$\boxed{45:37}$
