Every 3 D leaps are equal to 5 C leaps -----> 3D = 5C --- > D = 5/3C, but rates are 1/1 D and 3/5 C (1 leap in a unit of time and 3/5 leap in a unit of time, respectively).
However, the Dog makes just 6 leaps every 9 made by the Cat, hence 6 * 1/1 : 9 * 3/5 ----> 6 : 27/5 the ratio of number of leaps. Bringing it to integers 5 * both sides ----> 30 : 27 ----> 10 : 9

You have to consider that they give you on the one hand the equivalence of length of the leaps and on the other hand the equivalence of time. You should find the ratio of leaps in the same unit of time.

A dog chase a cat and takes 6 leaps for every 9 leaps of the cat, but 3 leaps of the dog are equal to 5 leaps of the cat. What is the ration of the speeds of the dog and the cat?

Dog: 6dK; d=5c/3; 6(5c/3)K=10K
Cat: 9cK

10K:9K=10:9

D:C=6:9
D:C=3:5
cross multiplying yields,
D:C=30:27=10:9 (ans)
Ans:B
