B Correct answer
Explanation

The table shows 75 km in 60 minutes. Speed = 75/60 = 1.25 km/min. In 20 minutes, distance = 1.25 * 20 = 25 km.

AI explanation

First, find the speed of the train by dividing the distance by the time, so 75 km divided by 60 minutes gives a speed of 1.25 km per minute. Using the distance formula of speed multiplied by time, we multiply 1.25 by the target time of 20 minutes. This calculation gives a distance of 25 km. The train will travel 25 km.
