Correct Answer: 75 km/hr


Solution : Given: A car travels 80 km in the first hour and 70 km in the second hour.
Total distance = 80 + 70 = 150 km
Total time = 1 + 1 = 2 hours
We know that, Average speed = $\frac{\text{Total distance}}{\text{Total time}}$
= $\frac{150}{2}$
= 75 km/hr
Hence, the correct answer is 75 km/hr.
