    Average speed = total distance / total time

    total distance = 40 + 20 = 60km

    total time taken = 10 + 5 = 15 minutes

    Average speed = 60/15 = 4km/min

    D. 4km/min

    Explanation:

    Since the question deals with "speed" and not "velocity", the direction does not matter.

    the plane covers 40 + 20 km=60km in 10mins + 5 mins=15mins

    60 km - 15 mins

    1min - 60:15 = 4 mins

    therefore, your answer is D. 4km/min
