    60 km/hr.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    When Dad caught up the the time he had been driving was 4 hours and the time Mom had been driving was 1 + 4 = 5 hours.

    They both drove the same distance, d km.

    For Dad:

    speed = d / time

    75 = d / 4

    d = 75 * 4 = 300 km.

    Mom took 5 hours to travel this distance, so

    Mom's speed was 300 / 5 = 60 km/hr.
