Study the given bar-graph and answer the question the follows. What is the approximate average speed of the person while travelling from city A to city F? |
28.55 km/h 23.91 km/h 21.78 km/h 19.47 km/h |
21.78 km/h |
Formula to be used here, Average speed = \(\frac{Total Distance}{Total time}\) ⇒ Time(A-B) = \(\frac{80}{16}\) = 5 hrs, ⇒ Time(B-C) = \(\frac{120}{40}\) = 3 hrs, ⇒ Time(C-D) = \(\frac{90}{20}\) = 4.5 hrs, ⇒ Time(D-E) = \(\frac{60}{30}\) = 2 hrs, ⇒ Time(E-F) = \(\frac{42}{12}\) = 3.5 hrs, ⇒ Total distance = 80 + 120 + 90 + 60 + 42 = 392 Km. ⇒ Average speed = \(\frac{392}{18}\) = 21.78 Km/hr. |
