Solution

The correct option is B False
Using the concept of proportion verify whether the statement is true or false:
$45 k m : 60 k m = 12 h o u r s : 15 h o u r s$
Taking the ratio we get
$\Rightarrow$ $\frac{45}{60} = \frac{3}{4}$
$\Rightarrow$ $\frac{12}{15} = \frac{4}{5}$
$\Rightarrow$ $\frac{3}{4} \neq \frac{4}{5}$
$\Rightarrow$ $45 k m : 60 k m \neq 12 h o u r s : 15 h o u r s$
Hence, the given statement is false.
