The ratio of the speed of a bus to that of a train is 15 : 27. Also, a car covers a distance of 720 km in 9 hours. The speed of the

bus is tree-fourths of the speed of the car. How much distance will the train cover in 7 hours?

760

756

784

770

Let’s break this down step by step:

- The car goes 720 km in 9 hours. That’s 720 ÷ 9 = 80 km/h.

- The bus speed is three-fourths of the car's speed: (3/4) × 80 = 60 km/h.

- The bus : train speed ratio is 15 : 27. That means train’s speed = (27/15) × 60 = 108 km/h.

- Now, how far does the train go in 7 hours? 108 × 7 = 756 km.

Here’s what you need to know about the options:

- Option 1: 760 – a bit too high.

- Option 2: 756 – this matches what we just calculated.

- Option 3: 784 – that would mean the train is even faster.

- Option 4: 770 – also not matching.
