B Correct answer
Explanation

To find the speed in km/hr, divide the distance by the time: 192 / 2.6 = 73.846 km/hr. To convert this speed to m/s, multiply by 5/18, which yields approximately 20.51 m/s (rounded to 20.52 m/s).

AI explanation

First, find the speed in km/hr using the formula Speed = Distance / Time, which is 192 km divided by 2.6 hours, resulting in 73.846 km/hr. To convert this to m/sec, multiply by 5/18, giving 73.846 x (5/18) = 20.52 m/sec.
