Question:

A person goes from A to B with a speed of 30 km/h. He comes back from B to A with a speed of 20 km/h. What is his average speed for the entire journey?

Options:

34 min

30

27

24

Correct Answer:

24

Explanation:

Average speed = 2xy/(x + y)

Here, x = speed from A to B

y = speed from B to A

⇒ Average = 2 × 30 × 20/(30 + 20)

⇒ Average = 24 km/h
