Question:

A girl goes from M to N at a speed of 25 km/h and returns to M at a speed of 37.5 km/h, via the same route. What is the girl's average speed (in km/h)?

Options:

30

32

31.25

27.5

Correct Answer:

30

Explanation:

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

= \(\frac{2 × 25 ×  37.5 }{25 + 37.5 }\)

= \(\frac{2 × 25 ×  37.5 }{62.5 }\)

= 30 km/h
