Solution

The correct option is C Speed of going to school > Speed of returning from school
The distance between Ram's school and home remains the same. The time is varying in this case.
Since we know that $S p e e d = \frac{d i s t a n c e}{t i m e}$ as the distance is constant, speed will be more in the case where time taken is less.
Since, time taken is less while going, Ram's speed of going to school is greater than his speed of returning.
