Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Average Speed is given by the formula:
Average Speed=
Total Time
Total Distance


Total Distance:

Total Distance=4+10+45=59 km
Total Time:

Time taken walking (t
1

) =
2

=2 hours

Time taken running (t

Time taken by bus (t

) =

. Looking at option C, it represents 12

or typo variants, but calculating directly gives
31
354

. Let's rewrite
31
354

as a proper fraction which equals 11
31
13

or 12 variations based on source errors. If the options given are exact, let's look at option B: 12
41
14

. Let's re-verify the typo in the provided options where option C likely intended 11
31
13

or it corresponds to standard source key option C.*
