\begin{aligned} &\text { Let the velocity of car be } u\\ &\text { Then } 490=\frac{v+u}{v-u} 420 \text { or } \end{aligned}

\begin{array}{l} \frac{330+u}{330-u} \times 420=490 \\ \\ \Rightarrow \quad \frac{330+u}{330-u}=\frac{7}{6} \\ \\ \Rightarrow \quad 13 u=330 \\ \\ \Rightarrow \quad u =\frac{330}{13}=25.38 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} \\ \\=91 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h} \end{array}
