      A car running with a speed of 52 km/hr takes 4 hours to

      go from 'A' to 'B'. If on the way back from 'B' to 'A', the car takes 20% less time than it takes while going from 'A' to 'B', then find the approximate average speed of the car during the whole journey
      A 47.8 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 37.8 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Total distance covered by the car in 4 hours = 52 x 4 = 208 km Time taken by the car in the return journey = 0.80 x 4 = 3.2 hours Average speed = Total distance covered Ă· Total time taken Average speed of the car = (208 x 2) Ă· (4 + 3.2) ~ 57.8 km/h
