Correct Answer: $59\frac{7}{27}$
Solution : $\text{Average speed}=\frac{\text{Total distance}}{{\text{total time}}}$ Total distance travelled = (600 + 600 + 500 + 300) km = 2000 km Total time taken = $\frac{600}{80}+\frac{600}{30}+\frac{500}{400}+\frac{300}{60}$ = $\frac{15}{2}+20+\frac{5}{4}+5$ = $\frac{30+80+5+20}{4}$ = $\frac{135}{4}$ hr Average speed = $2000×\frac{4}{135}=\frac{8000}{135}$ km/hr = $\frac{1600}{27}=59\frac{7}{27}$ km/hr Hence, the correct answer is $59\frac{7}{27}$ km/hr.
