Question:

A man travels from P to Q at the speed of 60 km/h and travels from Q to P at the speed of 90 km/h. What is the average speed of the man for the whole journey?

Options:

75 km/h

78 km/h

70 km/h

72 km/h

Correct Answer:

72 km/h

Explanation:

Average speed = \(\frac{ 2 × S1 × S2}{S1 + S2}\)

= \(\frac{ 2 × 60 × 90 }{60 + 90}\)

= = \(\frac{ 10800}{150}\)

= 72 km/h
