first of all you should know what is the difference between speed and velocity.
They are both scalar and vector pairs of each other.
Speed is scalar which means it only tells a magnitude whereas velocity is vector which means it will tell distance and magnitude both.
In your question direction is not given therefore velocity and speed are same.
Velocity just means speed of the car in a particular direction and speed is speed with distance travelled in a particular time.
Now we will start solving the question.
As we know everything equals Total distance travelled upon total time taken.
Therefore,1000km/13 hrs
=76.92km/hr,is the avg speed of the taxi.
now as direction is not given velocity will be speed.
