Explanation:

I hope u are asking for average speed

average speed = total distance/total time

= 225/7.5

= 30 km/h or 30 km per hour

Answer:

As Per Provided Information

  • Distance covered by his car 225 Km
  • Time taken by his car 7.5 hours

We have to determine the average speed of his car in kilometres per hour .

Using Formulae


\boxed {\bf \: Average\: Speed \: = \cfrac{Total \: Distance \: Covered}{ Total \: Time \: Taken }}

On substituting the value we get


\sf \qquad \: \longrightarrow\: Average\: Speed \: = \cfrac{225}{7.5} \\ \\ \\ \sf \qquad \: \longrightarrow\: Average\: Speed = \cancel \cfrac{225}{7.5} \\ \\ \\ \sf \qquad \: \longrightarrow\: Average\: Speed = 30km {h}^( - 1)

Therefore,

  • Average speed of his car is 30 km/h .

So your answer is A) 30 kph .
