(ii) 25 km

Case I

Speed of the car = 40 km/h

Time taken = 15 min =15/60= 0.25h

Distance covered, d1 = Speed × Time taken = 40 × 0.25 = 10 km

Case II

Speed of the car = 60 km/h

Time taken = 15 min =15/60= 0.25h

Distance covered, d2 = Speed × Time taken = 60 × 0.25 = 15 km

Total distance covered by the car, d1 + d2 = 10 + 15 = 25 km

Therefore, the total distance covered by the car is 25 km.
