    D 26.33 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Total Distance = 50 km + 100km+8km =158 km   Time taken by cycle = 50 km/25km/h = 2 hours   Time taken by car = 100 km/50km/h = 2 hours   Time taken on foot = 8 km /4km/h = 2 hours   Total Time= 2+2+2= 6 hours   Average Speed = 158 km/6 hours = 26.33 km/h
