Solution

The correct option is A A
We know that the distance covered in 20 minutes is 5 km.
Assume that the distance covered in 5 hours be x.
Now, we have to find the value of x.

$20 x = 5 \times 60 \times 5 20 x = 1500$

$x = 75 k m$

Since city A is 72 km from Ram's home, he can reach city A in 5 hours with the given speed.
