A vehicle when climbing up a gradient consumes petrol at the rate of 1 litre per 8 kms, while coming down it gives 12 kms per litre. Find its average consumption for to and fro travel between two places situated at the two ends of a 25kms long gradient.
X (km/L) W(km) `(w/x)-> (l)` 8 25 `25/8 = 3.125` ` 12 25 `25/12 = 2.083` `sum` wi= 50 `sum (Wi)/(chiiota ) = 5.208` Harmonic Mean = `(sum wi)/(sum(wi)/(chiiota))` = `(50)/(5.208)` = 9.6 liter Hence average consumption is 9.6 Liters.
