Question

Average speed of ‘A’ during a 20-hour journey is 32 km/h. If he covered the first 240 km of his journey at a speed of 20 km/h, then find the speed at which ‘A’ travelled during the remaining journey.

A 42 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B 41 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C 50 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D 45 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

Total distance covered by ‘A’ = 20 × 32 = 640 km Time taken to cover 240 km = 240/20 = 12 hours Time taken to cover remaining distance = 20 – 12 = 8 hours So, required speed = {(640 – 240)/8} = 50 km/h
