Correct option is C

Formula Used:

Solution:
Distance in km = 30 km 250 meters = =30+(2501000)=30.25 km = 30 + \left(\frac{250}{1000}\right) = 30.25 \, \text{km} \\​​
Time in hours ==2560=512 hours = \frac{25}{60} = \frac{5}{12} \, \text{hours} \\​​
Speed = =30.25512=30.25×125=72.6 km/hr= \frac{30.25}{\frac{5}{12}} = 30.25 \times \frac{12}{5} = 72.6 \, \text{km/hr}
