Time, Speed and Distance

Question:

A car covers a distance of 48 km at a speed of 40 km/h and another 52 km with a speed of 65 km/h. What is the average speed of the car (in km/h) for the total distance covered ?

Options:

52.5

50

52

33

Correct Answer:

50

Explanation:

Distance = Speed × Time

Time  = \(\frac{DIstance}{Speed}\) 

Time 1 = \(\frac{48}{40}\)  = 1.2 hours

Time 2 = \(\frac{52}{65}\) = 0.8 hours

Average Speed = \(\frac{100}{2}\) 

= 50 km/h

\(\frac{54}{100}\)
