      Question

      A motor-cycle covers 90 km with a speed of 40 km/hr.

      find the speed of the motor-cycle for the next 90 km journey so that the average speed of the whole journey will be 60 km/hr.
      A 150 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 126 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 120 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 140 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Average speed of whole journey = 60 km/hr Using the formula, average speed = 2xy/(x + y)  x = speed of first 90 km = 40 km/hr 60 = 2 x (40 x  y)/(40 + y) = 120 km/hr
