Question

Sneha is picked up by her father by car from college everyday. The college gets over at 4 p.m. daily. One day, the college got over an hour earlier than usual. Sneha started walking towards her house. Her father, unaware of this fact., leaves his house as usual, meets his daughter on the way, picks her up and they reach the house 15 minutes earlier than usual. What is the ratio of the father's speed to sneha speed.

I think it should be 8:1 but the anwser is 7:1.

Answer 1

father save 15 minutes

he save 7.5 minute on one trip

 he meet his daughter at 4.00 – 7.5 =3.52.5 pm instead of 4.00 pm

father travel in 7.5 minute = Sneha travel in 52.2 minutes [3.00 to 3.52.5]

7.5*C =52.5 * S

C/S= 52.5/7.5 =525/75 = 7/1

Answer 2

7:1 is correct answer
