  2. According to the sign a motor-cycle is prohibited to overtake a car.
  3. According to the sign a car is prohibited to overtake a motor-cycle.
  4. According to the sign overtaking is prohibited.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: According to the sign both vehicles are prohibited from entering this road.

Sign 405 bans entry to all motor vehicles; the car and motorcycle drawn on it stand for every type of motor vehicle. So neither the car nor the motorcycle may enter this road at all, and the question of overtaking does not arise. The sign has nothing to do with overtaking, which is banned by a different sign showing two vehicles side by side.
