Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : B Given: Ran for 5/2 hours at 62km/hr, and for 5/4 hours at 68 km/hr Formula Used: Speed = Distance/Time Average speed = Total distance traveled/Total time taken Calculation: In the first case, ⇒ 62 = Distance/(5/2) ⇒ Distance = (62 × 5)/2 ⇒ Distance = 155 km In the second case, ⇒ 68 = Distance/(5/4) ⇒ Distance = (68 × 5)/4 ⇒ Distance = 85 km Using the formula for average speed, Average speed = (155 + 85)/(5/2 + 5/4) ⇒ Average speed = 16 × 4 ∴ The average speed of a train is 64 km/hr |
