Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Correct Answer is option 4 i.e. 60

Understanding

Application

Average speed = 80 km/hr

Suppose distance = x

Time = x/80

Since first 75% of the distance in

two-third of the time:

Speed = 0.75x/(2x/240) = 90 km/hr

Remaining time = x/240

Remaining distance = 0.25x

Speed = 0.25x/(x/240) = 60 km/hr
