B Correct answer
Explanation

Ram's speed = 4.5 km/hr. Sohan's speed = 1.2 km / 15 min = 1.2 km / 0.25 hr = 4.8 km/hr. Since 4.8 > 4.5, Sohan runs faster.

AI explanation

To compare their speeds, convert Sohan's running speed into km/hr using the conversion factor. Sohan runs 1.2 km in 15 minutes, and since there are four 15-minute segments in an hour, his speed is 1.2 multiplied by 4, which equals 4.8 km/hr. Ram's speed is given as 4.5 km/hr. Comparing the two, 4.8 km/hr is greater than 4.5 km/hr, meaning Sohan runs faster.
