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:

26.5 km/h

24 km/h

25 km/h

27.5 km/h

Correct Answer:

24 km/h

Explanation:

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

= \(\frac{2 × 30 × 20}{30 + 20}\)

= \(\frac{120}{50}\)

= 24 km/h
