A Correct answer
Explanation

Distance = 72 km/hr * 12 hr = 864 km. Time taken when not serviced = 864 km / 60 km/hr = 14.4 hours.

AI explanation

The distance covered by the serviced car travelling at 72 km/hr for 12 hours is 72 multiplied by 12, resulting in 864 km. To find the time the unserviced car takes to cover this same distance at a speed of 60 km/hr, divide the distance by the speed. Therefore, 864 divided by 60 yields a time of 14.4 hours.
