Correct Answer: 10 m/s
Solution : Given: A bus travels 720 kilometres in 20 hours. Applying the formula of $\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$, we get, $\text{Speed}=\frac{720}{20}=36$ km/hr Converting km/hr into m/s by multiplying it with $\frac{5}{18}$, we get, $\text{Speed}=36\times\frac{5}{18}=10$ m/s Hence, the correct answer is 10 m/s.
