Explanation:

TRAIN 1 COVERS 180 KM IN 4 HOURS
TRAIN 2 COVERS 180 KM IN 3 HOURS
Then, the speed of the 1st train is = $\frac{180}{4}$ = 45km/h

Then, the speed of the 2nd train is = $\frac{180}{3}$ = 60km/h

THEREFORE, THE TRAIN 1st COVERS 45 KM IN 1 HOUR...
AND THE TRAIN 2nd COVERS 60 KM IN 1 HOUR...

THEREFORE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE DISTANCE OF THEM IS :-

DISTANCE COVERED BY 2ND TRAIN IS SUBSTRACTED BY THE DISTANCE COVERD BY 1ST TRAIN...
= (60 - 45) KM = 15 KM

Therefore the difference of the distance covered by these trains in 1 hour is 15 KM.

Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
