$A$ particle moving along a straight line covers the first half of the distance with a speed of $3 \, m \, s^{-1}$. The other half of the distance is covered in two equal time intervals with speeds of $4.5 \, m \, s^{-1}$ and $7.5 \, m \, s^{-1}$ respectively. The average speed of the particle during the motion is:

  • A
    $4.0 \, m \, s^{-1}$
  • B
    $5.0 \, m \, s^{-1}$
  • C
    $5.5 \, m \, s^{-1}$
  • D
    $4.8 \, m \, s^{-1}$
