B.
756 km
Answer
C.
740 km
D.
None of these

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
Ratio of speed of Bus and Train = 15 : 27
Let speed of the bus is 15X and Speed of the Train is 27X
Car Covered 720 km in 9 hours.
So, Speed of the Car =   = 80 kmph
Given, Speed of the bus is of Car, So speed of the Bus,
=   = 60 kmph
Thus,
15X = 60
X = 4
So, Speed of the train = 27X = 27 × 4 = 108 kmph.
Hence, Train will cover distance in 7 hours,
= 108 × 7
= 756 km
