A train enters into a tunnel AB at A and exits at B. A jackal is sitting at O in another by passing tunnal AOB,which is connected to AB at A and B, where OA is perpendicular to OB. A cat is sitting at P inside the tunnel AB making the shortest possible distance between O and P, such that AO:PB=30:32 When a train before entering into the tunnel AB makes a whistle (or siren) somewhere before A, the jackal and cat run towards A, they meet with accident (with the train) at the entrance A. Further if the cat moves towards B instead of A it again meets with accident at the exit of the tunnel by the same train coming from the same direction.
What is the ratio of speed of jackal and cat?

A

`4:3`

B

`5:3`

C

`1:1`

D

can't be determined
