    A 30 kmph Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 60 kmph Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 80 kmph Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 40 kmph Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    D1= 100 Km, S1= 20 Km/hr, D2= 140 Km, S2 = 70 Km/hr, D3 = 60 Km, S3= 20 km/hr. T1= (Distance )/Speed = (100 )/20 = 5 hr. T2 = (Distance )/Speed = (140 )/70 = 2 hr. T3= (Distance )/Speed = (60 )/20 = 3 hr. Average Speed= (Total Distance )/(Total Time) = (300 )/10 = 30 km/hr.
