Given:

There are 4 members

Each member has to cover 5 km one after another

Formula used:

Average Speed = Total distance / Total time

Calculations:

⇒ Total distance covered by the 4 members = 5 km × 4 = 20 km

⇒ Total time taken = 30 min = 1 / 2 hour

⇒ Average speed = \(\frac{\text{Total distance}}{\text{Total time}}\)

⇒ Average speed = \(\frac{20}{\frac{1}{2}}\)

⇒ Average speed = 20 × 2 = 40 km / h

⇒ Hence, The average speed of 4 members is 40 km/ h
