Odometer of an automobile measures the distance travelled by the automobile from its origin or between two stations.
$(i)$ $300 m$ per minute $=300 / 60=5 m s ^{-1}$
$(ii)$ $36 km$ per hour $=36 \times 5 / 18=10 m s ^{-1}$
$5 m s ^{-1}<10 m s ^{-1}$
$300 m$ per minute $< 36 km$ per hour.
Hence, car moves faster
