    C 25 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 30 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the total distance be 100x Now, Average speed = (100x)/[{(100x Ă— 40%)/40}+{(100x Ă— 50%)/25}+{(100x Ă— 10%)/10}] = [100x/{(40x/40)+(50x/25)+(10x/10)}] = {100x/(x+2x+x)} = (100x/4x) = 25 km/h
