C.
53 km/h
D.
54 km/h

Solution:

Concept:Speed: the rate at which something moves.To calculate speed two factors are important:The distance that a thing coversThe time it takes to cover that distance.So the formula to calculate Speed:Speed = Distance/TimeFormula to calculate average speed:Average speed = (Total distance)/(Total Time)Explanation:Total distance = 530 kmTotal time = (06:15 to 16:15) = 10hAvg speed = 530/10 = 53Km/hThus, the average speed between the station is 53Km/h.Important PointsTo convert Km/hr into m/sec we multiply the speed by 5/18.To convert m/sec into km/hr we multiply the speed by 18/5.
