B. 14.5 kmph

C. 14.4 kmph

D. 14 kmph

Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Time taken by Kamal}} \cr & = \frac{{100}}{{ {\frac{{18 \times 5}}{{18}}} }} \cr & = 20\,{\text{seconds}} \cr & {\text{Hence, }} \cr & {\text{Time taken by Bimal}} \cr & 20 + 5 = 25\,{\text{seconds}} \cr & {\text{So, Bimal's speed}} \cr & = \frac{{100}}{{25}} \cr & = 4\ \cr & = \frac{{4 \times 18}}{5} \cr & = 14.4\,{\text{kmph}} \cr} $$
