Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 44 km/h Given: Speeds are 66 km/h and 33 km/h and distance is same both times. Formula used: If two different speed are given but travel equal distance, then average speed is calculation as follows: Average speed = 2(Product of speeds)/(Sum of speeds) Calculation: Average speed = 2(66 × 33)/(66 + 33) ⇒ 4356/99 ⇒ 44 km/h Alternative method: Let the distance travel in each speed is 66 km. Average speed = Total distance travelled/Total time taken ⇒ [(66 + 66)]/[(66/66) + (66/33)] ⇒ 132/3 ⇒ 44 km/h |
