Question

A

Answer 1

Answer:

★ 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

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps:)
