Correct Answer: 15 km/h
Explanation:
Time taken to cover first 75 km = 75/25 = 3 h
Time taken to cover next 25 km = 25/5 = 5 h
Time taken to cover last 50 km of its journey = 50/25 = 2 h
Total distance = 75 + 25 + 50 = 150 km
Total time taken = 3 + 5 + 2 = 10 h
∴ Required average speed = Total distance / Total time taken
= 150/10 = 15 km/h
