Ans. Total Distance = 370 km

let speed of train= x  km/h

speed of car = y km/h

Case 1 : 

Distance travel by train = 250 km 

Time taken to cover this distance = (250x) hour

Distance travel by car = 370-250 = 120 km

Time Taken to cover this distance = (120y)  hour

Total time = 4 hours

So,  250x+120y=4

=> 250y+120x=4xy    ............... (1)


Case 2 :
Distance travel by train = 130 km 

Time taken to cover this distance = (130x) hour

Distance travel by car = 370-130 = 240 km

Time Taken to cover this distance = (240y)  hour

Total time = 4 hours and 18 mintues = (4310) hours

So,  130x+240y=4310

=> 1300y+2400x=43xy    ............... (2)

Multilply eq(1) by 20, we get 

=> 5000y+2400x=80xy .......... (3)

Subtract (2) from (3), we get 

=> 3700 y = 37xy

=> 37x = 3700

=> x = 100 

Put value of x in eq(1). we get 

=> 250y + 12000 = 400y

=> 12000 =  150y 

=> y = 80 

So Speed of train = 100 km/h

Speed of car = 80 km/h
