Correct Answer: 71.11 km/hr


Solution : The first 160 km are travelled at 64 km/hr.
Time taken for this journey $=\frac{160}{64} = 2.5$ hr
Next 160 km are travelled at 80 km/hr.
Time taken for this journey $=\frac{160}{80} = 2$ hr
Hence, the total time taken for the journey of 320 km = (2.5 + 2) = 4.5 hr
Hence, the average speed for first 320 km $=\frac{320}{4.5} = 71.11$ km/hr
Hence, the correct answer is 71.11 km/hr.
