Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 327 km/hr GIVEN: Different speed for the equal distance is 200 km/hr, 400 km/hr and 600 km/hr FORMULA USED: Average Speed = Total Distance/Total Time CALCULATION: Let the equal distance be d km ⇒ Average Speed = Total Distance/Total Time \(⇒ \frac{{3d}}{{\frac{d}{{200}} + \frac{d}{{400}} + \frac{d}{{600}}}}\) \( ⇒ \frac{{3d}}{{\frac{{6d \; + \; 3d \; + \; 2d}}{{1200}}}}\) \(⇒ \frac{{3d \; \times\; 1200}}{{11d}}\) ⇒ 3600/11 ⇒ 327.27 km/hr ≈ 327 km/hr ∴ The average speed is 327 km/hr |
