Given:

The ratio of time taken by Dinesh and Edwin to cover a distance of 1000 km is 13 ∶ 19.

Formula Used:

Ratio of speeds = Inverse of the ratio of times

Calculation:

Let the time taken by Dinesh be 13 units and by Edwin be 19 units.

Ratio of speeds = 1 / Ratio of times

⇒ Ratio of speeds = 1 / (13 ∶ 19)

⇒ Ratio of speeds = 19 ∶ 13

The ratio of their speeds is 19 ∶ 13.
