Correct Answer: 2 : 3


Solution : Given:
The car travels 80 km in 2 hours.
The train travels 180 km in 3 hours.
Speed of the car  =$\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$ = $\frac{80}{2}$ km/hr = 40 km/hr
Speed of the train = $\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$ = $\frac{180}{3}$ km/hr = 60 km/hr
The ratio of the speed of the car to that of the train = 40 : 60 = 2 : 3
Hence, the correct answer is 2 : 3.
