  1. A
    45
  2. B
    50
  3. C
    60
  4. D

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Total distance =400 km
Average speed =50 km/h

Total time taken=
Average Speed
Total Distance

=
50
400

=8 hours
Let's look at the first lag:

Distance covered =first half distance=
2
400

=200 km

Time taken =2 hours

Speed in the first lag =
2
200

=100 km/h

Second lag:

Speed =half of the first lag speed=
2
100

=50 km/h

Time taken =1 hour

Distance covered =50×1=50 km

Remaining journey details:

Remaining distance =400−(200+50)=150 km

Remaining time =8−(2+1)=5 hours

Speed for the remaining distance:

Speed=
Remaining Time
Remaining Distance

=
5
150

=30 km/h
