Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`{:("Case"1 : , 320 T + 480 B , to , 10 "hours") , ("Case" 2 : , 240 T + 560 B , to , 8 "hours"):}`
In case 1 , 80 km journey extra is done by train , which increases time by 2 hours .
If remaining journey of 480 is also done by train only then time will increase by `6 xx 2` hours = 12 hour
`therefore` Train will take (10 + 12) hours to complete 800 km
Similarly , in case 2 , 80 km journey extra is done by bus , which decreases time by 2 hours .
If previously 240 kms were also covered by bus , then time would be reduced by `( 2 xx 3)` hours = 6 hours
`therefore` Bus will take (8-6) hours to complete 800 km
`therefore` Ratio of speed = `((800)/(22))/((800)/(2)) = 1 : 11`
