Solution

The correct option is B 50 Km/hr

Given that,

The train is going north at a velocity of 253km/h and the car in going in an easterly direction at velocity 25km/h

Now, Adding velocity of train in north and velocity of car in east, together

R=(253)2+(25)2

R=2500

R=50km/h

Hence, the actual velocity of train is 50 km/h
