The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The correct option is (C): 60 kmph
Explanation: Let speed of car = 10x km/hr
Speed of train = 12x km/hr
Time taken by both to travel 75 km =75/ 10x = 75/12x + 12.5/60
75/60x=12.5/60
x=75/12.5=6
So speed of car =60km/h

75/60x=12.5/60
x=75/12.5=6
So speed of car =60km/h
