Question:

A person covers a certain distance by bus at 45 km/h and immediately returns to the starting point by car at a speed of 80 km/h. What is his average speed during the whole journey?

Options:

57.6 km/h

63.2 km/h

73.5 km/h

45.5 km/h

Correct Answer:

57.6 km/h

Explanation:

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

= \(\frac{2 × 80 × 45 }{80 +45}\)

= \(\frac{7200 }{125}\)

=   57.6 km/h
