If the velocity ratio of a machine is 5. What is its ratio of x and y?

A. 2 : 5
B. 1 : 5
C. 5 : 1
D. 3 : 1

Correct Answer:

Option C = 5 : 1

Explanation

Velocity Ratio (V.R) = distance moved by the effort (x)÷ distance moved by the load (y)

i.e. V.R = x/y

v. R = 5, x/y = ?

i.e x/y = 5/1; , where x = 5, y = 1

x : y = 5 : 1
