    Question

    Average speed of 28 vehicles is 60 km/h. Two new vehicles

    join with speeds (s + 15) and (s - 5), and the average becomes 62 km/h. Find (s - 45).
    A 45 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 38 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 35 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 40 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 42 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    30 × 62 − 28 × 60 = s + 15 + s − 5
    2s + 10 = 1860 − 1680 = 180
    2s = 170
    s = 85
    s − 45 = 85 – 45 = 40
