Let the speed of the car be a km/hr

⇒ Speed of the train = a + (20/100)a = 1.2a km/hr

⇒ Total distance covered by both = 180 km

⇒ Time taken by train = 180 km/1.2a = 150/a hr

⇒ Time taken by car = 180/a hr

Given: both take equal amount of time when train has 1/2 hr of stoppage time

⇒ 150/a + 1/2 = 180/a

⇒ 30/a = ½

⇒ a = 60 km/hr

Hence, speed of train = 1.2a = 72 km/hr

∴ the correct option is 3)
