★ A grey hound pursues a hare and takes 5 leaps for every 6 leaps of the hare, but 3 leaps of the hound are equal to 5 leaps of the hare.
★ The speed of the hound and the hare
★ The speed of the hound and the hare = 25:18
As it's given that a grey hound pursues a hare and takes 5 leaps for every 6 leaps of the hare, but 3 leaps of the hound are equal to 5 leaps of the hare.
So firstly let us assume a metres as the distance covered by the hare in one leap.
Ok now let's talk about 5 leaps,.! As it's cleared that the hare cover the distance of 5a metres.
But 3 leaps of the hound are equal to 5 leaps of the hare.
Henceforth, (5/3)a meters is the distance that is covered by the hound.
Now according to the question,
Hound pursues a hare and takes 5 leaps for every 6 leaps of the hare..! (Same interval)
Now the distance travelled by the hound in it's 5 leaps..!
- (5/3)a × 5
- 25/3a metres
Now the distance travelled by the hare in it's 6 leaps..!
- 6a metres
Now let us compare the speed of the hound and the hare. Let us calculate them in the form of ratio..!
- 25/3a = 6a
- 25/3 = 6
- 25:18
