Solution

The correct option is A 20 kmph
Given:
Odometer reading, before the trip =22256 km
Odometer reading, after the trip =22356 km
So the distance travelled in the trip=2235622256=100 km
Time taken for the trip =5 hr

Average speed = Total distance travelledTotal time taken

Average speed =1005=20 kmph
