Answer:


To find the speed we can use the formula for speed.

Speed = distance / time

and since we want the result in kmph we will have to convert the values into kms and hours.

Therefore speed of the athlete is;

Speed = (200/1000) / (24/(60 x 60)

Speed = .2 x 3600/24 = 30 kmph

Answer is D. 30 kmph
