Detailed Solution

$\begin{array}{l} _{r} μ_{d} = 1.125,_{r} μ_{d} = \frac{V_{r}}{V_{d}} \\ V_{r} - V_{d} = 0.25 \times 10^{8} m / s \\ 1.125 V_{d} - V_{d} = 0.25 \times 10^{8} \\ 12.5 V_{d} = 25 \times 10^{8} \times 10 \Rightarrow V_{d} = 2 \times 10^{8} m / s \\ V_{r} = 2.25 \times 10^{8} m / s \\ μ_{d} = \frac{3 \times 10^{8}}{2 \times 10^{8}} = 1.5; μ_{r} = \frac{3 \times 10^{8}}{2.25 \times 10^{8}} = 1.333 \end{array}$
