Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Average speed }} = \frac{{{\text{Total distance }}}}{{{\text{Total time}}}} \cr & {\text{Average speed}} = \frac{{50 + 40 + 90}}{{2 + 2 + 6}} \cr & {\text{Average speed}} = \frac{{180}}{{10}} \cr & {\text{Average speed}} = 18{\text{ km/hr}} \cr} $$
