Correct Answer: 30 km/hr


Solution : Distance from P to Q = 20 km
Distance from Q to R = 25 km
Total distance = 20 + 25 = 45 km
Total time = 1 hour 30 minutes = $1+\frac{30}{60}$ = 1.5 hours
We know that,
$\text{Average speed}=\frac{\text{Total distance}}{{\text{Total time}}}$ = $\frac{45}{1.5}$ = 30 km/hr
Hence, the correct answer is 30 km/hr.
