Question

Average speed of ‘A’ during a 24-hour journey is 34 km/h. If he covered the first 120 km of his journey at a speed of 30 km/h, then find the speed at which ‘A’ travelled during the remaining journey.

A 44 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B 34.8 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C 38 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D 50 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

Total distance covered by ‘A’ = 24 × 33 = 816 km Time taken to cover 120 km = 120/30 = 4 hours Time taken to cover remaining distance = 24 – 4 = 20 hours So, required speed = {(816 – 120)/20} = 34.8 km/h
