Correct Answer: 3 : 5


Solution : Distance = 60 km
Time taken by bus = 1 hr 15 min = 1.25 hr
Time taken by car = 45 min = $\frac{3}{4}$ hr
Speed = $\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$
Speed of Bus = $\frac{60}{1.25}$ = 48 km/hr
Speed of car = $\frac{60}{\frac{3}{4}}$ = 80 km/hr
The ratio of the speed of the bus to the speed of the car = 48 : 80 = 3 : 5
Hence, the correct answer is 3 : 5.
