Solution

Step - 1: Given
Distance travelled by bus $(s_{b}) = 20 k m$
Time of travelling by bus $(T_{b}) = 1 h o u r$
Distance travelled by car $(s_{c}) = 50 k m$
Time of travelling by car $(T_{c}) = 2 h o u r s$
Step - 2: Formula
Speed of the vehicle $(v) = \frac{D i s \tan c e t r a v e l l e d}{T i m e t a k e n}$
Step - 3: Speed of the bus
$(v_{b}) = \frac{20 k m}{1 h o u r} (v_{b}) = 20 \frac{k m}{h} H e r e s p e e d o f t h e b u s i s 20 k m / h$
Step - 4: Speed of the car
$(v_{c}) = \frac{50 k m}{2 h o u r} (v_{c}) = 25 \frac{k m}{h} H e r e s p e e d o f t h e c a r i s 25 k m / h$
Hence, the car has a high speed and moves faster than the bus.
