Correct option is A
Given:
Distance covered in each lap = 312 m
Time for the first lap = 156 sec
Time for the second lap = 52 sec
Formula Used:
Average speed =
Solution:
Total distance = Distance of first lap + Distance of second lap
Total distance = 312 m + 312 m = 624 m
Total time = Time for first lap + Time for second lap
Total time = 156 sec + 52 sec = 208 sec
Average speed = 3 m/sec
The average speed of the athlete is 3 m/sec.
