Correct Answer: 86.8 km/hr
Solution : The total distance travelled by the bus = 166 km + (134 km/hr × 2 hours) = 166 km + 268 km = 434 km The total time taken by the bus = 3 + 2 = 5 hours The average speed of the bus $=\frac{\text{Total distance}}{\text{Total time}}=\frac{434}{5 }= 86.8$ km/hr Hence, the correct answer is 86.8 km/hr.
