Given:

An aeroplane travels five times as fast as a bus.

Time is taken by bus to cover 60 km = 1 hour 20 minutes(4/3 hour)

Formula used:

Speed = Distance/time

Calculation:

Speed of bus = 60/(4/3)

⇒ 45 km/hr

Speed of aeroplane = 5 × 45

⇒ 225 km/hr

Distance covered in 25 minutes = 225 × 25/60

⇒ 93.75 km

Distance covered in 25 minutes by aeroplane is 93.75 km/hr.
