Option 1: 60 km/hr

Option 2: 75 km/hr

Option 3: 80 km/hr

Option 4: 90 km/hr

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Solution : Total time travelled by the thief = 9:00 - 8:15 = 45 min = $\frac{3}{4}$ hour
Speed of thief = 60 km/hr
Distance travelled = 60 × $\frac{3}{4}$ = 45 km
Total time travelled by the thief = 9:00 - 8:30 = 30 min
