Solution

The correct option is D

36 km


First we need to find the speed of the car according to the given question the speed of the car is 80 × 0.6=48kmph
Now the distance covered by the train in 15 minutes = 1560×80 = 20km
Now, the distance between 3 stations is 20 x 3 = 60 km
Since distance is directly proportional to the speed ​
4880 = x60
Hence, x = 36 km
