Explanation:

Correct option:3

Solution:

Let the speed of the car be x
Speed of the train is 40% more then car=1.4x

Time taken by car to cover 70 km =70/x
Time taken by train to cover 70 km =70/1.4x
According to the question 70/x — 70/1.4x = 15/60
x = (70 - 50)/1/4 x = (20 x 4) x = 80 km/h
The speed of the car is 80 km/h The speed of train=1.4x=80 x1.4=112 km/h
