Question

    Average speed of ‘A’ during a 40-hour journey is 36

    km/h. If he covered the first 160 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

    Solution

    Total distance covered by ‘A’ = 40 × 36 = 1440 km Time taken to cover 160 km = 160/20 = 8 hours Time taken to cover remaining distance = 40 – 8 = 32 hours So, required speed = {(1440 – 160)/32} = 40 km/h
