A train approaches a tunnel AB. Inside the tunnel is a cat located at a point that is \(\frac{3}{8}\) of the distance AB measured from entrance A. When the train whistles, that cat runs.

The ratio of the speed of the train to that of the cat is of the order :

• 1] 3 :1
• 2] 4 : 1
• 3] 5 : 1
• 4] None of these
