Practicing Success
A person traveled 30% of a distance with a speed of 90 km/h and the remaining with a speed of 140 km/h . What is his average speed for the whole journey in km/h ? |
150 180 200 120 |
120 |
Let the total distance = 100 km 30% of a distance = 30 km Distance = Speed × Time Total time = \(\frac{30}{90}\) + \(\frac{70}{140}\) = \(\frac{5}{6}\) Avg. speed = \(\frac{Total\;distance}{Total\;time\;taken}\) Avg. speed = \(\frac{100}{\frac{5}{6}}\) = 120 km/h |
