Let speed of car is v
Speed of train is 50% more than the car = 1.5 * v
Distance traveled by both of them is 75km each.
Since both start at the same time and reach at the same time so time taken by both of them will be same.
Time take by Car = time taken by train
75/v = 75/1.5v + 12.5 (as train stopped in between for 12.5mins) (calculating speed in km/min)
75/v - 75/1.5v = 12.5
75/v ( 1 - 1/1.5) = 12.5
75/v ( (1.5-1)/1.5) = 12.5
75/v * 0.5/1.5 = 12.5
75/v = 12.5 * 1.5/0.5
75/v = 12.5*3 = 37.5
v = 75/37.5 = 2 km/min
= 2*60 km/hr (as 1min = 1/60 hr)
= 120 km/hr
So, answer is C
Hope it helps!

Let, Speed of Car be x. Thus, speed of train = 1.5x
Let time taken by car to travel 75km be T1
Thus, 75/x = T1
Train reaches in the same time, however takes a break of 12.5 min
Thus, 75/1.5x + 12.5 = T1
Equating both the eqns;
75/x = 75/1.5x + 12.5
75/x - 50/x = 12.5
25/x = 12.5
Thus, x = 20km/min
Options are in kmph
Hence, x= 20× 60= 120kmph
Option, C.
