Correct Answer: 20 km/h
Solution : Time taken to cover the first 7 km at 10 km/h = $\frac{7}{10}$ hour Time taken to cover the second 7 km at 20 km/h =$\frac{7}{20}$ hour Time taken to cover the third 7 km at 30 km/h = $\frac{7}{30}$ hour Time taken to cover the fourth 7 km at 60 km/h =$\frac{7}{60}$ hour Total time taken = $\frac{7}{10}$ + $\frac{7}{20}$+$\frac{7}{30}$ +$\frac{7}{60} =\frac{7}{5}$ Total distance covered = 4 $\times$ 7 = 28 km $\text{Average speed}=\frac{\text{Total distance covered}}{{\text{Total time taken}}}$ $\text{Average speed}=\frac{\text{28}}{{\frac{7}{5}}}=20$ km/h Hence, the correct answer is 20 km/h.
