Let both the vehicles having X km/hr and Y km/hr speed.

If they go in same direction their relative speed will be X-Y (assuming X > Y)

So, speed = distance/time

X-Y = 90km / 9hr

X-Y = 10km/hr

If they go in opposite direction their speeds will be added.

X+Y = 90km / (9/7)hr

X+Y = 70km/hr

Solving these two equations, we will get

X = 40Km/hr and Y = 30Km/hr.

So answer is Option C.
