Solution

Rohit travel by car, speed of the car = 60 km/hr
Manoj travel by scooty, speed of the scooty = 40 km/hr
Since, It is given that, they live in the same locality
Hence, let the distance be k Time taken by Rohit to reach school 

= `"Distance"/"Speed"`

= `"K"/60`

Time taken by Manoj to reach school = `"K"/40`

∴ The ratio between the time taken by Rohit and Manoj to reach school

= `"K"/60:"K"/40`

= `1/3:1/2=2:3`
