Expert Answer
Let the ratio of actual time spent in air, by sea and on land = t : 16t : 2t
total time = t + 16t +2t = 19t
overall average speed = 
....................(1)
....................(1)from eqn.(1), we get t = 5hrs ;
Hence time spent on air = 5 hr ; time spent by sea = 16×5 = 80 hr ; time spent on land = 2×5 = 10 hr .
Let the ratio of actual speed in air, on sea and on land = 20v : v : 3v
distance covered in air = 20v×5 = 100v km
distance covered on sea = v×80 = 80v km
distance covered on land = 3v×10 = 30v km
total distance 100v+80v+30v = 210v = 3990 km ........................(2)
from (2) we get v = 19 km/hr
distance covered by sea = 80×19 = 1520 km
