    A 50 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 55 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 62.5 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 65 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Distance covered in the first part: Speed = 20 km/h Time = 2 hours Distance = Speed × Time = 20 × 2 = 40 km. After the stop, he rides for 1.5 hours at 15 km/h: Distance covered in the second part = Speed × Time = 15 × 1.5 = 22.5 km. Total Distance Covered: Total distance = Distance in the first part + Distance in the second part = 40 + 22.5 = 62.5 km. Correct Answer: c
