Correct Answer: 2 : 1


Solution : The speed of a vehicle is given by,
$\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$
The speed of the bus = $\frac{60}{1.5}$ = 40 km/hour
The speed of the car = $\frac{60}{0.75}$ = 80 km/hour
The ratio of the speed of the car to the speed of the bus = 80 : 40 = 2 : 1
Hence, the correct answer is 2 : 1.
