Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 426314\frac{26}{31}.

Distance = Speed × Time

According to the given question,

Distance covered by man while walking = 4 × 6 + (15/60)

⇒ 4 × 25/4 = 25 km

Now, speed of cycle = 25/(5 + 10/60)

⇒ 25/(31/6) 

⇒ 150/31 = 426314\frac{26}{31}
