Options:

Jeep = 250% of 30 = 75 km/hr
Car speed ratio = 3, Jeep = 5 → Car = (3/5) × 75 = 45

But if Jeep is 75, ratio-based logic can mislead. Final correct calculation → Jeep = 75, Car = 45, avg = (45+75)/2 = 60, not 75.

45°
Correct Answer: 3. 52.5°
Explanation:
Formula:
Angle = |(30hour − (11/2)minutes)|
= |(303 − 11/215)| = |90 − 82.5| = 7.5°
⚠️ Wait! Options mismatch. If answer given is 52.5°, it may be based on different time like 2:15.
✔ Correct answer for 3:15 = 7.5°
📌 So answer key likely has an error!
