Given:

The ratio of time taken by A and B to cover a certain distance is 17 ∶ 19

Concept used :

The speed ratio is inversely proportional to the time ratio

Calculation:

As per the question,

The time ratio is 17 : 19

So, the required speed ratio will be

1/17 : 1 / 19

⇒ 19 : 17

∴ The ratio of their respective speed is 19 : 17
