AI explanation

Let the distance covered by the car be x km, so the rickshaw distance is (180 - x) km. Using the formula Time equals Distance divided by Speed, the total time is x/15 + (180 - x)/25 = 10. Multiplying by 75 gives 5x + 540 - 3x = 750, which means 2x = 210 and x = 105. The distances are 105 km for the car and 75 km for the rickshaw, making their ratio 105 to 75 or 7 to 5. The ratio is 7 to 5.
