    Explanation

    Total distance = 15 laps × 400 meters × 5 days Total distance = 30000 meters Total time = 44 + 43 + 39 + 38 + 36 Total time = 200 minutes Total time(in seconds) = 200 × 60 = 12000 seconds Speed = Distance/Time Speed (in m/sec) = 30000/12000 = 2.5 m/sec 1 m/sec = 18/5 km/hr ⇒ Speed (in km/hr) = 2.5 × 18/5 = 9 km/hr Hence the answer is 9 km/hr
