Correct option is (c) Both 1 and 2
Distance between places A and B = 15 km
Speed of X = 1.5 km/hr
So, Distance covered by X in 5 hours = 7.5 km
Speed of Y in 1st hour = 1 km/hr
So, Distance covered by Y in 1st hour = 1 km
Similarly, Distance covered by Y in 2nd hour = 1.25 km
Distance covered by Y in 3rd hour = 1.5 km
Distance covered by Y in 4th hour = 1.75 km
Distance covered by Y in 5th hour = 2 km
So, the total distance covered by Y in 5 hours = 1 + 1.25 + 1.5 + 1.75 + 2 = 7.5 km
Hence, both the given statements are true.
