B Correct answer
Explanation

First, calculate the distance: 6 hours 15 minutes is 6.25 hours. Distance = speed * time = 4 * 6.25 = 25 km. Then, calculate the cycle speed: speed = distance / time = 25 / 5 = 5 km/hr.

AI explanation

Using the distance formula, the total distance covered is 4 km/hr * 6.25 hrs = 25 km. To cover this same distance in 5 hours, the required speed is 25 km / 5 hrs = 5 km/hr.
