Correct Answer: 92.8 km/hr
Solution : Time to travel from place X to place Y = 4 hours Speed when travelling from place X to place Y = 80 km/hr Distance from place X to place Y = 4 × 80 = 320 km Time to travel from place Y to place Z = 1 hour Speed when travelling from place Y to place Z = 80 × 180% = 144 km/hr Distance from place Y to place Z = 144 × 1 = 144 km Average speed = $\frac{\text{total distance}}{\text{total time}}$ = $\frac{320+144}{4+1}$ = $\frac{464}{5}$ = 92.8 km/hr Hence, the correct answer is 92.8 km/hr.
