It is D

Speed formula is Speed=distance/time or time=distance/Speed

Assume x is the speed of car, and so 4x becomes speed of flight

Comparing times..

x/20+4x/400=3

x=50

Speed of flight = 4x = 200

edit: My bad... yes C it is. I used the formula wrong.

Now I really dont get it. You said time=distance/Speed and then you go and write x/20 when it's supposed to be 20(distance) /x (speed).
Am I missing something?

that's why I said in the edit that I used the formula wrong. It's supposed to be 20/x+400/4x=3 which would lead to C. I should probably stop doing math while in commute ;-)
