Question:

Two cities, Delhi and Jaipur, are 360 km apart. A car goes from Delhi to Jaipur at a speed of 80 km/h and returns to Delhi from Jaipur using the same route at a speed of 120 km/h. What is the average speed of the car?

Options:

92 km/h

84 km/h

88 km/h

96 km/h

Correct Answer:

96 km/h

Explanation:

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

= \(\frac{2 × 80  × 120  }{80 + 120 }\)

= 96 km/h
