Question:

A ship sails out to a mark at the speed of 15 km/h and sails back to the starting point at the speed of 10 km/h. The average speed of sailing of the ship is:

Options:

12 km/h

15 km/h

13 km/h

14 km/h

Correct Answer:

12 km/h

Explanation:

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

= \(\frac{2× 15 × 10 }{15  +  10}\)

= \(\frac{300 }{25}\)

= 12 km/h
