Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
- (c)
Let speed of walking be x km/h.
Total time taken $ =\frac{7.5}{3}+2=4.5h $
Total distance covered $ =7.5+2x $
$ \therefore $ $ \frac{7.5+2x}{4.5}=4 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ 7.5+2x=18 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ 2x=10.5 $
$ \therefore $ Speed of walking $ =5.25km/h $
