Let total journey = y km
Total time taken = time taken during 60% of distance + time taken during 20% of distance + time taken in remaining distance
= [( 60y / 100 ) / 30] + [( 20y / 100 ) / 20] + [( 20y / 100 ) / 10]
= ( y / 50 + y / 100 + y / 50 )hrs
= y/20 hours.

Average speed = total distance traveled / total time taken.
= [y / ( y/20 )] km/hr
=20 km/hr.
