[tex]\dashrightarrow[/tex]  As it's given that a grey hound pursues a hare and takes 5 leaps for every 6 leaps of the hare, but 3 leaps of the hound are equal to 5 leaps of the hare.

 So firstly let us assume a metres as the distance covered by the hare in one leap.

Ok now let's talk about 5 leaps,.! As it's cleared that the hare cover the distance of 5a metres.

 But 3 leaps of the hound are equal to 5 leaps of the hare.

Henceforth, (5/3)a meters is the distance that is covered by the hound.

 Now according to the question,

Hound pursues a hare and takes 5 leaps for every 6 leaps of the hare..! (Same interval)

Now the distance travelled by the hound in it's 5 leaps..!

  • (5/3)a × 5

  • 25/3a metres

 Now the distance travelled by the hare in it's 6 leaps..!

  • 6a metres

 Now let us compare the speed of the hound and the hare. Let us calculate them in the form of ratio..!

  • 25/3a = 6a

  • 25/3 = 6

  • 25:18
