Let the speeds of the scooter, the car and the train be k, 4k and 16k respectively.

Let us consider the distance travelled by each of them to be d.

The ratio of the time taken by the scooter, the car and the train will be d/k : d/4k : d/16k = 16:4:1

Let the time taken be 16k1, 4k1 and k1 respectively.

Therefore, the ratio of the time taken/velocity = 16k1/k : 4k1/4k : k1/16k = 256 : 16 : 1.
