Answer 2

$\huge{\mathcal{Hi\: there!}}$

_______________________

Total distance = 624 km.

Time taken = 780 min = 13 hours.

Now,

We know that average speed is equal to total distance travelled by total time taken.

$\mathsf{average \: speed = \frac{total \: distance}{total \: time} } \\ \\ = > \mathsf{ \frac{624}{13} } \\ \\ = > \mathsf{48 \: km / h}$

Hence, Option (2) is correct.

The average speed of the bus is 48 km / h.
