Detailed Solution

Given, total distance =555 km.
Total time taken =8 hours.
Let time taken to cover some distance with 60 km/h be t.
The increased speed =60+15=75 km/h.
Then, time taken to cover remaining distance with 75 km/h will be 8-t.
t(60)+(8-t)(75)=555  75×8-15t=555  600-555=15t  t=3 hours Distance = 3×60=180 km
Therefore, the time taken by 60 km/h speed is 3 hours.
Hence, the correct option is 4.
