Rationale: Distance traveled by Eddy = 600 km
Time taken by Eddy = 3 hours
Average speed of Eddy = 450/3 = 150 km/hour
Distance traveled by Freddy = 300 km
Time taken by Freddy = 4 hours
Average speed of Freddy = 300/4 = 75 km/hour
Ratio of average speed of Eddy to Freddy = 150/75 = 2/1
The answer: (B)

Rationale: Suppose the amount in the beginning was Rs ’x’
Money spent on clothes = Rs 1x/3 Balance = Rs 2x/3
Money spent on food = 1/5 of 2x/3 = Rs 2x/15
Balance = 2x/3 - 2x/15 = Rs 8x/15
Money spent on travel = 1/4 of 8x/15 = Rs 2x/15 = 8x/15 - 2x/15 = 6x/15 = Rs2x/5
Therefore 2x/5 = 100 = 1500
The answer: (B)
