10. A lorry sets off at 06.00 to make a delivery 220 kilometres away at 10.00 At 06.56, 50 kilometres have been covered. During the next hour the lorry travels at an average speed of 56 kilometres per hour, followed by a further 30 kilometres at 72 kilometres per hour. If the lorry is to arrive on time, what must be its average speed for the remainder of the journey? (Express your answer to 2 decimal places).

This does not look like a typical GMAT question.
To begin, the 5 answer choices are missing. Also, since you won't have a calculator for the quant section, asking test-takers to calculate to the 2nd decimal place is not reasonable.
What's the course of this question?
You might want to stick with questions from reputable GMAT prep companies.

Cheers,

Hi ROHIT11111,

I see that you have posted a number of questions that are not GMAT like. It is highly unlikely that you will get such calculation intensive question on the GMAT. If you get a question testing these concepts, then the options would not want you to calculate till second place.
It is very tempting to believe that the more you practice, the better you become. But unfortunately, if you practice from random sources, you will do yourself no good.

Coming back to the question,

Information given:

Desired average speed = 220/4 = 55 km/hr
50 kms travelled in 56 minutes.
56 kms travelled in next 60 minutes

30 kms travelled in (30/72)*60 = 25 minutes.

Total distance covered = 136 km, Distance left = 220 - 136 = 84 km
Total time elapsed = 141 minutes, Time left = 240 - 141 = 99 minutes.

Required average speed = 84 / (109/60) = 84*60/99 km/hr = 50.91 km/hr
