Given:

Distance covered by Kapila = 1200 meters

Time taken = 10 minutes

Formula used:

Speed = Distance/Time

Solution:

The speed of Kapila is 1200 meters/10 minutes = 120 meters/minute.

Converting 120 meters/minute to km/hr, we get 120 x (1/60) x (18/5) = 7.2 km/hr.

Therefore, the speed of Kapila is 7.2 km/hr.
