Solution

Distance covered by car = 60 km
Distance covered by train = 240 km
$∴$ Total journey = 60 + 240 = 300 km
Let x % of total journey is travelled by car.
Then, x % of 300 = 60
$\Rightarrow \frac{x}{100} \times 300 = 60 \Rightarrow x = \frac{60 \times 100}{300} \Rightarrow x = 20$
Let y % of total journey is travelled by train.
Then, y % of 300 = 240
$\Rightarrow \frac{y}{100} \times 300 = 240 \Rightarrow y = \frac{240 \times 100}{300} \Rightarrow y = 80$
Hence, 20% distance is travelled by car and 80 % distance is travelled by train.
