A train can travel 50% faster than a car. Both start from point A at the same time and reach point B 75 kms away from A at the same time. On the way, however, the train lost about 12.5 minutes while stopping at the stations. The speed of the car is:

[A].	100 kmph
[B].	110 kmph
[C].	120 kmph
[D].	130 kmph

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let speed of the car be x kmph.

Then, speed of the train =	150	x	=		3	x	kmph.
	100				2

	75	-	75	=	125
	x		(3/2)x		10 x 60

	75	-	50	=	5
	x		x		24

x =		25 x24		= 120 kmph.
		5
