Question

    Average speed of ‘A’ during a 30-hour journey is 34

    km/h. If he covered the first 180 km of his journey at a speed of 20 km/h, then find the speed at which ‘A’ travelled during the remaining journey.
    A 40 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
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Total distance covered by ‘A’ = 30 × 34 = 1020 km Time taken to cover 180 km = 180/20 = 9 hours Time taken to cover remaining distance = 30 – 9 = 21 hours So, required speed = {(1020 – 180)/21} = 40 km/h
