Question

Suresh started his journey from P to Q by his bike at the speed of 40 kmph and then, the same distance he travelled on his foot at the speed of 10 kmph from Q to R. Then he returned from R to P via Q at the speed of 24 kmph. The average speed of the whole trip is:

  • A) 18.5 kmph
  • B) 19.8 kmph
  • C) 18.2 kmph
  • D) 19.2 kmph
  • E) None of these
Solution

Answer – D. 19.2 kmph

Explanation:

Average speed from P to R  = 2 * 40 * 10 / (40 + 10) = 16 kmph

Average Speed = 2 * 16 * 24 / (16 + 24) = 19.2 kmph

Answer – D. 19.2 kmph

Explanation:

Average speed from P to R  = 2 * 40 * 10 / (40 + 10) = 16 kmph

Average Speed = 2 * 16 * 24 / (16 + 24) = 19.2 kmph
