Correct Answer: 7.14 km/hr
Solution : Time taken to walk 10 km at a speed of 2.5 km/hr = $\frac{10}{2.5}$ = 4 hr Time taken to run 10 km at a speed of 5 km/hr = $\frac{10}{5}$ = 2 hr Time taken to go 30 km by bus at a speed of 30 km/hr = $\frac{30}{30}$ = 1 hr Total time = 4 + 2 + 1 = 7 hr Total distance = 10 + 10 + 30 = 50 km Average speed = $\frac{\text{Total distance}}{\text{Total time}}$ = $\frac{50}{7}$ = 7.14 km/hr Hence, the correct answer is 7.14 km/hr.
