Question:

A bus covers a certain distance travelling at a speed of 40 km/h and returns to the starting point at a speed of 60 km/h. The average speed (in km/h) for the entire journey is:

Options:

48

20

100

50

Correct Answer:

48

Explanation:

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

= \(\frac{2 × 60 × 40 }{60 + 40 }\)  

= \(\frac{4800 }{100 }\)  

48 km/h
