There are six gears A, B, C, D, E, F in a compound train. The numbers of teeth in the gears are 20, 60, 30, 80, 25 and 75 respectively. The ratio of the angular speeds of the driven (F) to the driver (A) of the drive is

(a) 1/24

(b) 1/8

(c) 4/15

(d) 12

The correct choice is (a) 1/24

For explanation: The ratio of angular speeds of F to A = TA.TC.TE/TB.TD.TF

                                                   = 20 x 30 x 25/60 x 80 x 75

                                                   = 1/24.
