Answer: b) 4 : 1 worked out as under.

D / v1 = (3/8) x / v2 ... ( 1 )

( D + x ) / v1 = (5/8) x / v2
=> D / v1 = (5/8) x / v2 - x / v1 ... ( 2 )

From equns. ( 1 ) and ( 2 ),

(3/8) x /v2 = (5/8) x / v2 - x / v1
=> 3 / (8v2) = 5 (8v2) - 1/ v1
=> 1 / v1 = ( 5/8 - 3/8) / v2
=> 4v2 = v1

when the train croses 8 parts,the cat crosses 5 parts,,,,,,,,,,,,,so 8:5=7:4=6:3=5:2=4:1
so the answer is 4:1

Ans : 4 : 1
1.Time taken for x km by train = Time taken for 3/8 of AB by cat
2.Time taken for x+8 km by train = Time taken for 5/8 of AB by cat
eq1 => x/v1=(3/8)AB/v2
eq2 => (AB+x)/v1=(5/8)AB/v2 => x/v1=AB((5/8v2)-1/v1)
LHS of eq1 and eq 2 are same so RHS of 2 eqns are equal so :
(3/8)AB/v2 = AB((5/8v2)-1/v1)
(3/8)/v2=(5/8v2)-1/v1
1/v1=(2/8v2)
1/v1=1/4v2
v1=4v2
