Two, trains, one from Howrah to Patna and the other from Patna to Howrah, start simultaneously. After they meet, the trains reach their destinations after 9 hours and 16 hours respectively. The ratio of their speeds is:
2 : 3
4 : 3
6 : 7
9 : 16
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let us name the trains as A and B. Then,

(A's speed) : (B's speed) = b : a = 16 : 9 = 4 : 3.

Speed = Distance/Time; Then how will you write root of time?

Ishita Narula is absolutely right, no more debates on this.

SIMPLY THEY ARE USING DISTANCE FORMULA DISTANCE=TIME*SPEED

d1/d2=x1/x2;
d1=16x1;
d2=9x2;
9/16=(x1)2/(x2)2;
x1/x2=3/4;

(A's Speed):(B's Speed)= sq.under root a: sq.under root b
