Question:

Mohan finishes a journey by scooter in 5 hours. He travels the first half of the journey at 30 km/h and the second half of the journey at 20 km/h. The distance covered by him is:

Options:

140 km

100 km

120 km

130 km

Correct Answer:

120 km

Explanation:

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

= \(\frac{2 × 30 ×20  }{30 + 20}\)

= \(\frac{1200  }{50}\)

= 24 km/h

Distance = Speed × Time

= 24 × 5

= 120 km
