Given:

A cyclist rides 20 km in 120 minutes and rides another 25 km in 150 minutes.

Concept used:

Average speed = Total distance / Total time

Calculation:

Total distance is 20 + 25 = 45 km

Total time is 150 + 120 = 270 minutes

270 minutes = 4 hr and 30 minutes 

Average speed is  45 /4.5 = 10 km/h

∴ The correct option is 3
