Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e.  111113km/h11\frac{11}{13} km/h

Given that

The person covers 11 km at a speed of 7 km/h

Time taken = 11 / 7 hours

He covers 25 km at a speed of 10 km/h

Time taken = 25 / 10 hours

He covers 30 km at a speed of 20 km/h

Time taken = 30 / 20 hours

Formula used 

Average speed = total distance / total time

Hence, average speed = 66 / 397\frac{39}{7} = 66 × 739\frac{7}{39} = 15413\frac{154}{13} = 111113km/h11\frac{11}{13} km/h.
