    A certain distance is covered by a cyclist at a certain speed. If a jogger covers half the distance in double the time, the ratio of the speed of jogger to that of the cyclist is

    A) 1 : 4

    B) 4 : 1

    C) 1 : 2

    D) 2 : 1

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Let the distance covered by the cyclist be 'd' and time taken to cover it be 't'. Then, these values for the jogger will be \[\frac{d}{2}\] and 2t. \[\therefore \] The ratio of the speed of the jogger to that of the cyclist             \[=\frac{d/2}{2\,t}:\frac{d}{t}=\frac{1}{4}:1=1:4\]
