A. The amount of time it takes to travel 1.6 kilometers plus the length of the car at the difference in the speed of the train and the speed of the car multiplied by the speed of the car.

B. The amount of time it takes to travel 1.6 kilometers plus the length of the car at the sum of the speeds of the train and the car multiplied by the speed of the car.
