Answer:
The correct option is B.
Explanation:
Let the speed of the train be x km/hr and that of the car be y km/hr.
It takes eight hours for a 600 km journey, if 120 km is done by train and the rest by car.
120/x + 480/y = 8 or 1/x + 4/y = 1/15
If 200 km is done by train and the rest by car, then 20 minutes more time is taken.
200/x + 400/y = 25/3 or 1/x + 2/y = 1/24
Solving both the equations,
x = 60 and y = 80
Ratio is 3:4
