Practicing Success
A motorcycle covers 50 km at a speed of 25 km/h. Find the speed of the motorcycle for the next 50 km of the journey so that the average speed of the whole journey will be 30 km/h. |
32.5 km/h 37.5 km/h 40 km/h 35 km/h |
37.5 km/h |
As distance is same . So , Average Speed = \(\frac{2 × S1 × S2 }{S1 + S2}\) 30 = \(\frac{2 × 25 × S2 }{25 + S2}\) 30 = \(\frac{50 × S2 }{25 + S2}\) 750 + 30 S2 = 50 S2 20 S2 = 750 S2 = 37.5 km/h So , Speed of motorcycle is 37.5 km/h |
