1:5

Explanation:

To find speed use the formula

speed=distance/time

The car's speed is 600m ÷2mins(120secs)

(600÷120)

5m/s

The trains speed will be

speed=distance/time

=75÷50mins(5/6hrs)

=90km/hr

Ratio of their speed should be

first change the speed of the car 5 m/s to km/hr. 5×18/5 = 18km/hr

the speed of the train is 90km/hr

18:90 simplified it will be 1:5
