Correct Answer: $65\frac{5}{123}$ km/hr


Solution : Average speed = $\frac{total \;distance}{total \;time}$
Average speed = $\frac{600+800+500+100}{\frac{600}{80}+\frac{800}{40}+\frac{500}{400}+\frac{100}{50}} = \frac{2000\times 400}{12300}$
=$ \frac{8000}{123}$
= $65\frac{5}{123}$ km/hr
Hence, the correct answer is  $65\frac{5}{123}$ km/hr.
