Correct Answer: 10 km/hr


Solution : A bullock cart has to cover a distance of 120 km in 15 hours.
It covers half of the journey in $\frac{3}{5}$th time.
So, remaining time = $\frac{2}{5}$ × 15 = 6 hr
Remaining distance = $\frac{120}{2}$ = 60 km
$\therefore$ Required speed = $\frac{60}{6}$ = 10 km/hr
Hence, the correct answer is 10 km/hr.
