Answer c) 10 : 9
Let the speed of the slower motorcyclist be x km/hr.
Therefore the speed of the faster motorcyclist will be (x + 5) km/hr.
In 2 hrs both motorcylists cover
2x + 2(x + 5) = (4x + 10) km distance.
i.e. 4x + 10 = 220 – 30
or, 4x = 180 or, x = 45
Ratio = 50 : 45 = 10 : 9

Answer a) 480 hectares
Let original area ploughed daily = x hectares
Total area ploughed = 16x
If (x + 18) hectares is ploughed daily, then total area = 10(x + 18)
Given that, 16x = 10(x + 18)
or, x = 30 hectares
total area of field = 16 × 30 = 480 hectares
