Practicing Success
A man goes from C to D at 40 km/h and he returns from D to C at x km/h. If the average speed of the man for the whole journey is 60 km/h, then what is the value of x? |
100 120 110 80 |
120 |
Average Speed = \(\frac{ 2 × S1 × S2}{S1 + S2}\) S1 = 40 km/h & Average speed = 60 km/h is given 60 = \(\frac{ 2 × 40 × S2}{40 + S2}\) 60 × ( 4 + S2 ) = 80 S2 240 + 60 ×S2 = 80× S2 20×S2 = 240 S2 = 120 km/h So , Speed while returning back is 120 km/h |
