Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 33.33 km/h Given: Total distance covered = 250 km Speed in the first part of the journey = 40 km/h Speed in the second part of the journey = 70 km/h Speed in the third and final part of the journey = 18 km/h Formula used: Speed = Distance/Time Average speed = Total distance/Total Time Calculation: Average speed = 250/{(20/40) + (140/70) + (90/18)} ⇒ 250/[(1/2) + 2 + 5] ⇒ 250/(15/2) ⇒ (500/15) ⇒ 33.33 km/h ∴ The average speed of the whole journey is 33.33 km/h. |
