Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let total distance be =12x
1/4 th journey=1/4 of 12x= 3x , time=3x/25
1/3 journey = 1/3 of 12x= 4x, time = 4x/30=2x/15
rest journey= 12x-(3x+4x)=5x , time =5x/50= x/10
total time=3x/25+2x/15+x/10=53x/150
Now average speed=total distance/total time=12x * 150/53x
=1800/53 km/h
